This book reveals how complex interpersonal and structural relations - age, class, gender, sexuality, culture, religion, abilities and geographical location - shape the lives, identities, opportunities and regulation of children and young people.While marginalisation occurs throughout advanced capitalist democracies, Northern Ireland presents a unique context. Decades-long conflict involving state and non-state armed groups ended in 1998, yet it remains a divided society where sectarian violence extends to racist attacks on ‘incomers’ and transgenerational trauma persists.Exploring the experiences of children, young people and their advocates within the context of political, economic and socio-cultural conditions affecting the changing dynamics of everyday life, it analyses the significance of children’s rights. Chapters focus on adult responses and media representation, participation in decision-making, civic engagement, inclusion in education, access to space and place, regulation and policing, the legacy of the Conflict, and the deficit in children's rights. Reflecting children’s and young people’s priorities, it identifies reforms necessary to achieve social justice and implement a positive rights agenda.Relevant to practitioners, policymakers and politicians, the book has universal significance for democratic states, particularly those transitioning from armed conflict. Essential reading within social sciences, criminology, law, childhood and youth studies, and education.

First Published in 1995. As feminists reflect on the impact of the 'second wave' of feminism, and assess the gains of the last thirty years, invariably they have questioned whether claims that women have achieved equality are justified. In the late 1980s, there was a proliferation of popular imagery of 'new' men and 'post-feminist' women, with the concept of 'post-feminism' reinforcing and emphasizing the differences between independent, upwardly-mobile, career orientated women, and those women who 'choose' the more 'natural' role of wife and mother. The Illusions of'Post-Feminism':New Women, Old Myths maintains that 'post-feminism' is a myth. Through in-depth interviews with women about four major areas of their lives: education, work, the media and the family, the authors challenge and expose the myths implicit in the concept of 'post-feminism'. The research illustrates that women's discontent continues, despite the assumption that gender equality would result from equal opportunities legislation. The chapters highlight the ineffective nature of liberal reformism and demonstrate how power relations still lie at the root of the oppression of women. With its provoking and challenging analysis, this revealing book breaks the silence of women's real experiences by showing the actuality of women's lives today.
