The book is organized into three broad themes: ontologies, pedagogies, and contingencies, each of which explores the intricate complexities of a specific case study, offering fresh perspectives on how children's lives are shaped as arenas of engagement, contention, ambivalence, resistance, and the reproduction of militarism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the first three chapters, the book challenges dominant ontologies that shape childhood in particular ways. These include questions about who qualifies as a child deserving of protection, issues of voice and participation, and the diminishing agency of children. The chapters in the second section shed light on everyday pedagogies that utilize a wide range of knowledge, performances, practices, and competencies to militarize children's lives, particularly in advanced (post)industrial societies of the global North.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe third and final section focuses on investigations that prioritize questions of responsibility towards children. Contributors assess various aspects, such as resilience-building, the demands of protection, and the ethical implications of military recruitment practices that target children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough these diverse chapters, the book provides a rich and nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between children, childhood, and the broader political context, offering valuable insights into the ways in which children are both affected by and contribute to conflicts and peace-building efforts. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners working in the fields of childhood studies, peace and conflict studies, and social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 349g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030747909\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44282939769082,"sku":"9783030747909","price":76.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_babfb7b6-f8e1-4101-9686-82219fe33312.jpg?v=1686916471","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/childhoods-in-peace-and-conflict-9783030747909","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
