"In this book Philip E Veerman presents and discusses milestones in
the evolution of children's rights as well as the work of a number of
important pioneers in this field in order to examine whether the
concept of childhood has changed in our century.
With Samuel Shye's "Systematic Quality of Life Model" as a conceptual
framework and uniform standard, more than forty Declarations and
Conventions are analysed and compared. Veerman thus unfolds an
exciting picture of the changing image of childhood , starting at the
beginning of this century and culminating in United Nationsl
Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989 and the World Summit
for Children of 1990. All the important Declarations and Conventions
are reprinted as appendices. This makes Veerman's study a complete
and up-to-date text book on children's rights. "
