      abstract = {This edited volume investigates children and youth's deep  entanglement in today's major global, national, and local  transformations and processes: wherein they are not mere  spectators and objects of transformations but instead  actively shape them through various social, economic, and  political representations. International contributions  illuminate the problems that arise when children's rights  and participation become a site of contestation and power  over who represents whom, what, when, and where. The  authors do not provide simple solutions, instead offering  an understanding of the fundamental nature of these  problems as founded in the application of rights and the  nature of representation in modern society. Together, the  authors emphasize that child representation must take into  account the local and spatial context of how  representations of children are discussed, as well as  possible discrepancies between local, regional, national,  and global processes.
