Examines changes in public attitudes and government policies which put children at the top of the international agenda in the 1990s. Studies the two movements which have done most to raise the visibility of children in the public consciousness: the child survival campaign, which culminated in the 1990 World Summit for Children; and the movement for children's rights, which resulted in the 1989 International Convention on the Rights of the Child, now ratified by 177 countries. Explores what brought these two movements such unprecedented success, and asks whether I this new found concern for the world's children likely to last.
