The Adult Gaze
Young people are often talked about as “the future,” with the dual implication that they will inherit the results of contemporary decision-making and direct policy-making once they reach adulthood. However, it is not only in the future that they will encounter, have to think about, suffer from, and develop expertise in conflict. Building on a growing body of work considering young voices in peace and conflict studies and their participation as fu…
The Boundaries of the Future
Child protection is a well-known imperative of multidimensional United Nations (UN) peace operations, especially its stabilization operations. However, as illustrated by the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), protection is guided by a political imaginary that places children affected by conflict in a place and time devoid of political agency: childhood. Resisting the universalizing…
Children, childhoods, and security studies
Everyday modalities of war
Childhoods in Peace and Conflict
Children, childhoods, and everyday militarisms
Like childhood, thinking critically about militarism can entail a great deal of unlearning before coming to a more nuanced understanding of what lies beyond the signifier. Just as childhoods are multiple, overlapping, contingent, and bound up in many more aspects of our social worlds than is apparent if we look only for the child, so too militarism. The ways in which militarisms intersect childhoods and vice versa, therefore, call us to reflect n…
Responsibility to Protect the Future
Protection, development, progress: this is the trilogy of promises carried by the international framework for protecting young people. Based on the analysis of the unicef Unfairy Tales project videos, this article aims to unveil the fierce battle over the meaning of children for the international arena. Specifically, how the compelling claim for an international responsibility to protect children contains a promise of a progressive future to glob…
Discussing Global Health and Access to Medicines in the un System
This article explores how and why regional organizations participate in the discussion about global health within the United Nations system. It focuses on the case of the Union of South American Nations ( unasur ) and the topic of access to medicines, and argues that the creation of this organization and its activism in global health diplomacy and governance evolved in the context of the reconfiguration of multilateral cooperation in the Americas…
Travail humanitaire et favela globale
Cet article interroge le nouveau tournant pris par les organisations humanitaires internationales, qui s’intéressent dorénavant de plus en plus aux espaces urbains des Suds. L’inclusion des communautés urbaines pauvres – telles que les favelas de Rio de Janeiro – dans leur périmètre d’action résulte d’une vision particulière reliant les processus d’urbanisation à une redéfinition de la portée de l’action humanitaire. L’article montre que la trans…
Humanitarismo e a favela global
O artigo analisa criticamente os dilemas envolvidos nas recentes intervenções de organizações humanitárias internacionais em contextos urbanos do Sul Global. A inclusão de comunidades urbanas pobres - como as favelas do Rio de Janeiro - no escopo de atuação de atores humanitários resulta da compreensão particular que associa processos de urbanização à redefinição dos alvos da ação humanitária. O artigo argumenta que a transposição da proteção e a…
