Abstract

This book interrogates the international child protection regime, with a particular focus on its weaknesses and failures. It looks at the lack of accountability, the normativity, and the tendency to recreate patterns of power and exclusion that blight otherwise good intentions. The book assesses why the regime falls short of its ideals and offers ideas for what can be done to improve it. Bringing together influential, established voices, and emerging scholars who work on issues related to childhood, youth, policy, and practice, the book offers a timely intervention that aims to push the world of international child protection in more progressive directions.

Abstract

This book explores how humanitarian interventions for children in difficult circumstances engage in affective commodification of disadvantaged childhoods. The chapters consider how transnational charitable industries are created and mobilized around childhood need—highlighting children in situations of war and poverty, and with indeterminate access to health and education—to redirect global resource flows and sentiments in order to address concerns of child suffering. The authors discuss examples from around the world to show how, as much as these processes can help achieve the goals of aid organizations, such practices can also perpetuate the conditions that organizations seek to alleviate and thereby endanger the very children they intend to help.

Abstract

« S'il n'y a pas d'humanité sans langage, il n`y a pas non plus de société sans parenté. Mais que veut dire être parent ? » L'interrogation de Claude Levi-Strauss est au cœur de cette étude internationale et pluridisciplinaire qui analyse les bouleversements apportés actuellement par la biomédecine aux liens juridiques familiaux. Suite aux progrès vertigineux des nouvelles pratiques biomédicales, de multiples questions relatives à la parenté appellent une réponse aujourd'hui. Qui sera juridiquement le père ou la mère d'un enfant tandis que des hommes et des femmes stériles deviennent suscept
