Abstract

(London: Routledge, 2014). 232 pp. isbn 9780415820899. An as yet small but growing body of literature addressing Security Studies’ relative inattention to children and youth has emerged in recent years expanding, in part, on openings made by critical currents of scholarship that unsettle the field’s traditional preoccupation with state-centered geopolitics and realpolitik . Concurrent with the rise of Critical Security Studies, the coming into currency of the human security agenda in the 1990s gave succor to projects, academic and activist alike, that looked not only to new referents – that is, beyond the state and its narrowly-defined imputed interests – but which turned also on reconceptualizations both of security itself and its acting subjects. The result has been a burgeoning community of security scholars attentive to a much wider range of acting subjects and, even in policy circles, increased attention to local, civil society-based actors as global political actors in their own right. To date, however, surprisingly little work has been done which treats children and childhood in any thoroughgoing way and, as this important book from Cecilia Jacob reveals, human security projects might not do much better at centering children and youth even where they are the
