Reviews
'Based on their extensive earlier work on children's rights, Vandenhole and Erdem Turkelli provide a quick, yet authoritative and comprehensive, introduction to children's rights. Their typology of children's rights respectively as equal rights shared with adults, differentiated (and often enhanced) rights, and special (often protection) rights, works well for any reader and provides useful new insights.' -- Karin Arts, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands
