The Child as Vulnerable Victim
Over the last one hundred years, humanitarian agencies have considered children primarily through the lens of vulnerability. Advocacy for attention to children's agency and for their participation has burgeoned since the 1980s without shifting the powerful hold that assumptions of vulnerability have had over the policy and practices of humanitarians. This article seeks to denaturalise the conceptualisation of children in contexts of emergency as …
Beyond Struggle and Aid
The private sector in the development landscape
In introducing the Special Issue on The Private Sector in the Development Landscape this article focuses upon three key themes all related, in some manner, to the issue of power. These themes are drawn from the critique of partnership amongst conventional development actors and provide a framework for discussion of the six full-length articles and three shorter practice pieces that follow. The first theme for discussion is finance and the impact …
Shelter as Home
The lifespan of displacement camps around the globe is often measured in years or decades. Nevertheless, the establishment of camps to house people fleeing political violence is often framed as an emergency measure of limited duration. These are depicted as “temporary” spaces in which people are provided with aid and support until such time that they are able to return to their “permanent” homes. In this article, we focus on the actions and aspir…
Rights without borders? Learning from the institutional response to Iraqi refugee children in Jordan
The principle of universality is the cornerstone of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The study of displaced Iraqi children in Jordan reveals the political and economic factors that can militate against universality in practice. Following an account of Iraqi displacement in Jordan and of Iraqi children's situation from a rights perspective, we consider the institutional response offered by host government, western donors, and UN agenc…
Children and Forced Migration
Millions of children around the world are classified as refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced, and returnees. The lives of these children are shaped in diverse and significant ways by their experience of displacement and that of their parents, extended family, and community. Children who are considered forced migrants are often denied the rights enjoyed by citizens, including access to basic services, freedom of movement and assembly, an…

Mandated to fail? Humanitarian agencies and the protection of Palestinian children
This paper considers the efforts of United Nations and international agencies to address the threats to Palestinian children arising from Israeli occupation. It contains an account of the reasons why agencies have failed, over many years, to prevent systematic violations by the Israeli authorities and settlers. The discussion is organised around two inter-related domains: institutional and political. The paper argues that, in the occupied Palesti…
The spatialisation of child protection
This paper considers the employment of spatialised practice within child protection efforts as pursued by humanitarian agencies. Starting from a brief overview of the genealogy of enclosure and separation within both humanitarianism and in relation to childhood, examination is then made of spatialisation in the setting of the occupied Palestinian territory. It is argued that in a situation of occupation, the spatialised approach entails numerous …
Working with children as stakeholders in development
This article considers the challenges of promoting children's participation in development programming. It argues against the tendency to see the main obstacle to achieving this aim as technical. Instead it explores the institutional dimensions of change that may be required. The experience of a four-year process of training and organisational review within Save the Children Denmark provides the substance for reflection about the kinds of cultura…
Years of Conflict
Recent years have witnessed a significant growth of interest in the consequences of political violence and displacement for the young. However, when speaking of “children” commentators have often taken the situation of those in early and middle childhood as representative of all young people under eighteen years of age. As a consequence, the specific situation of adolescents negotiating the processes of transition towards social adulthood amidst …

Children's Participation and International Development
Since the early 1990s participation has grown to become a key notion amongst child-focused international and intergovernmental development organisations. By means of participatory projects such bodies commonly seek to achieve transformation of children's lives. While considerable consideration has been given to the technical, institutional and attitudinal challenges to achievement of this goal, far less attention has been paid to the political co…
Displaced children's participation in political violence
Within the burgeoning literature, children's participation in political violence is overwhelmingly considered in terms of coercion. Displacement camps are seen as locations in which the young are particularly vulnerable to the predations of recruiters. This article questions assumptions of incompetence that underwrite much of the discourse on child recruitment. As I argue, the experience of growing up in situations where profoundly asymmetrical p…
The Statelessness of the World's Children
Who's Afraid of Children? Children, Conflict and International Relations
By Helen Brocklehurst Aldershot : Ashgate Publishing , 2006 ISBN 9780754641711 195 pp , £55.00 (hb) Social science engagement with issues of children and childhood, growing since the early 1990s, has so far been dominated by the methods and perspectives of sociology, social work/social policy and anthropology in particular. The relative silence of scholars in international relations has been regrettable: holding back the development of a much nee…

Children and Nationalism in a Palestinian Refugee Camp in Jordan
Based on fieldwork in a Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan, this article describes the engagement of children with projects of nationalism. In their position of marginality to both the Jordanian nation-state and the emerging Palestinian national entity, the children of Hussein Camp are the objects of different visions for their own collective future. The article offers a description of these visions and the ways in which they inform the actions o…

Behavioral treatment of essential hypertension
The efficacy and the mechanisms of action of two behavioral treatments for essential hypertension were compared: cognitive group therapy for anger control and biofeedback for heart rate control. The cognitive therapy aimed at lowering the "general anger" level and helping overt expression of "anger out;" heart rate biofeedback aimed at slowing heart rate in stress situations. Ninety-seven essential hypertensive patients were randomly assigned to …
