"Children's Participation? Learning from Children and Adults in the Asia-Pacific Region" is the result of collaboration between five countries in the Asia Pacific Region, resulting from a research collaboration initiated in relation with the Childhoods 2005 conference.
The book explores the socio-cultural context of children’s participation in the five countries, in response to the obligations on these countries, as signatories to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. While the legal mandating of participation has significant implications for children’s lives and adult-child relations, research in this area has been limited, particularly cross culturally.
