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.
