Routledge Child Security in Asia - Cambodia and Myanmar Book

Millions of children across the globe face the consequences of armed conflict and the lasting effects of war in post-conflict societies. This academic work examines the impact of insecurity on children by utilizing original field research from Cambodia and the eastern conflict zones of Burma. Through a detailed analysis, the text explores how political structures and security discourses affect child protection. It investigates how these frameworks can sometimes lead to further marginalization rather than providing the intended safety for vulnerable youth. In the Cambodian context, the research addresses serious threats including trafficking and exploitative labor. This book provides essential insights for governments, humanitarian organizations, and scholars interested in the intersection of politics, security, and child welfare in Southeast Asia. It offers a deep look into the real-world implications of conflict on the next generation.
