Reflexiones sobre la instalación de una perspectiva internacional de los Derechos del Niño: Un modelo americano de burocratización de la infancia

Abstract

In the field of the studies focused on “Children’s Rights protection”, the resort to international agreements and organizations becomes essential to give visibility to certain topics and provide pertinent political support. The problem lies in the naturalization of the standards employed, reducing mobility to subjects concerned and promoting new forms of exclusion. This study seeks to question this naturalized fields and disclose the “negotiations” responsible at this juncture in the American continent. The main idea for this study is that these tensions have contributed to the shaping of what I name “the American model of childhood bureaucratization”.
