Review: "This volume provides a series of critical analyses on the visions which informed the text agreed in the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, contemporary debates and ongoing advances and barriers to implementation. With contributions by leading experts in the field, the book discusses the progress of maturation of the CRC as an international instrument, its inherent dilemmas and some of the debates generated by the challenges of implementation. It embraces examinations of different levels of governance from the international to the state party, regional and local levels, including institutional developments and changes in law, policy and practice.The book will be a valuable resource for students, researchers and policy-makers working in the area of children's rights and welfare." -- Publisher's information.
