Children, Youth and Development, 2nd Edition, by Nicola Ansell examines how global dynamics and local practices interact to influence the experiences of young people in poorer countries. Published in the Routledge Perspectives on Development series, the text investigates the impact of development policies, economic and cultural globalisation, and international agreements on youth across the majority world.
The text introduces theoretical perspectives on childhood and youth while evaluating how Western concepts have guided international agencies. It links broader patterns of global inequality with immediate social environments, including peer networks and family life.
Geared toward advanced students, researchers, and development practitioners, each chapter supports study through boxed case studies that illustrate core concepts.
