Infos

The Research Handbook of Children and Armed Conflict adeptly explores children's lived realities of armed conflict and its aftermath. Featuring empirical, conceptual and policy analyses, alongside moving first-hand accounts of the experiences of war-affected children and youth, it highlights the urgent need for advocacy and action on this issue.Boasting state of the art contributions by eminent scholars and practitioners from across the globe, this Research Handbook explores the theoretical, practical, and policy issues related to children affected by war. Chapters investigate the profound harms experienced by such children and youth, whether in the heat of conflict, during flight or during resettlement to a new context, underscoring the urgency and high stakes of these situations for children and families affected by war. The Handbook demonstrates that scholarly discussions and debates must ultimately contribute to real-life changes to promote more just and effective immigration legislation, policies, programmes, and practices for war-affected children.Integrating conceptual analyses with concrete policy and political engagement, this incisive Research Handbook will prove essential for scholars, researchers, and students interested in war studies, security, refugee studies, forced migration, international development, child protection and post-conflict reconstruction. Its policy and legally-oriented chapters will also benefit policymakers, civil servants and international NGOs.
