"Extremely useful for a number of the modules being delivered and will be included in the suggested reading list that students received." Susan Feltman, North Hertfordshire College "How do issues of theory and practice converge in the area of children's rights and participation? This collection brings impressive scope, specificity and insight to that key question." Barrie Thorne, University of California, Berkeley, US "By linking the local to the global, this book presents a wide-ranging multi-disciplinary focus on various aspects of children's lives. Collectively the chapters effectively demonstrate the integration of theory and practice through the use of relevant and informative case studies. " Professor Madeleine Leonard, School of Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work Queen's University, Belfast
