Yet, in practice, evidence suggests the contrary: the international framework of treaties, procedures, and national policies contains fundamental contradictions that weaken commitments to children’s real-world protections.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrian Gran helps us understand what is at stake when children’s rights are compromised. This insightful text grounds readers in core theories and key data about children’s legal entitlements. The chapters tackle central questions about what rights accrue to young people, whether they advance equality, and how they influence children’s identities, freedoms, and societal participation. Ultimately, this book shows how current frameworks hinder young people from possessing and benefiting from human rights, arguing that they function as cynical invitations to question whether we truly believe children are endowed with human rights.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Sociology of Children’s Rights\u003c\/i\u003e offers a critical and accessible introduction to understanding a complex issue in the contemporary world, and is a compelling read for students and researchers concerned with human rights in sociology, political science, law, social work, and childhood studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 What Are Children's Rights?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Institutions and Children's Rights\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Children's Political Rights\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Meanings of Children's Rights\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 What Do Children's Rights Do?
