Reviews

'Throughout the veritable industry that is now 'business and human rights' the plight of children is too often overlooked or understudied. In this impressively ambitious book Gamze Erdem Türkelli first illustrates precisely how the corporate exploitation of children is different and disproportionate, and then mounts a convincing argument for what domestic and international legal systems can do to educate, cajole, coerce, and punish irresponsible corporations.' David Kinley, Chair in Human Rights Law, University of Sydney 'Business greatly impacts on children's Iives. Nevertheless, while business and human rights matters have been discussed for four decades, children's rights only entered this scene rather recently. In her lucid book, Gamze Erdem Turkelli appealingly unlocks the developments involved, both in theory and in practice. Cases from Uzbekistan, the DRC and Uganda finely illustrate child rights aspects that have come up in the cotton sector, mineral extraction, and infrastructure projects.' Karin Arts, International Institute of Social Studies, The Hague and Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam
