Firm but fair’? Migrant children’s rights through dramaturgy and nation branding in Norway and the UK
Applying nation branding literature and the work of Erving Goffman on dramaturgy to the situation of asylum-seeking children in Norway and in the UK, this paper develops a comparative framework for understanding why child rights appear to be de-prioritised in the current climate of ‘migration control’. The paper identifies historically grounded differential approaches towards child rights and children in the two countries, which currently appear …

Age is Just a Number? Supporting Migrant Young People with Precarious Legal Status in the UK
This paper challenges the focus on age 18 as an exclusionary point in law for migrant young people, particularly unaccompanied migrants, with insecure legal status. Initially meant to provide a protective category of “childhood” in law, focus on age 18 creates a sharp transition point in law for young people. This chronological concept of age does not match up with the reality of lives of many young people who step into adulthood without being ab…

BorrowMyDoggy.Com’
This article re‐examines what constitutes genuine sharing in peer‐to‐peer collaborative transactions by contrasting a pet owner‐borrower matching initiative to other enterprises such as Uber and Airbnb. It argues that aims of public spiritedness and community building through interactions are essential for sustaining peer‐to‐peer collaborations. When money is the focal point of exchange, the collaborative relationship is motivated by profit makin…
Bettering the Best Interests of the Child Determination
The paper compares European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and uk court judgments on cross-border nationality cases concerning children and wholly domestic family law cases regarding children (without the cross-border element). It identifies different legal standards that apply to the well-being of children such as the best interests principle and the welfare principle and maps how successful these standards are in bringing in the views of childre…
Political Context and Meaning of British Citizenship
This article places the court cases on cancellation of British citizenship in the context of the wider socio-political debates on citizenship. The political context demonstrates several potential arguments linking citizenship with rights which could have informed the court cases. However, an observable trend is that while some of the decisions flag various substantive rights, most fail to expand upon them. A formal, legal approach to determinatio…
Durkheim on law and morality
A celebrated and much-discussed article by the distinguished English legal philosopher H.L.A. Hart entitled 'Social Solidarity and the Enforcement of Morality' (1967) presents a radically simplified account - a caricature, so to speak - of Émile Durkheim's views on law and morality. Hart called this account 'the disintegration thesis' and identified the then eminent English judge, Lord Devlin, and Durkheim as proponents of this thesis. We here se…
