Revisiting 'Women and children' in Peace and Security: What about the Girls caught in between?

Abstract

As this book proposes that International Relations (IR) ought to take children and childhood seriously, the Introduction highlighted the need to think about prospects and limitations in relation to such work, including cautioning against taking an ‘add children and stir’ approach. Likewise, the question arises: where have children and childhoods been ‘added’ in existing IR debates, and what can we learn from critically interrogating such instances?
