How does this differential status fit in with the principles of justice that structure our society, law, and morality? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDespite the growth of philosophical research on childhood and children's rights during the last decades, there has been no systematic study on the moral and political status of children in liberal political theory. \u003cem\u003eChildhood in Liberal Theory\u003c\/em\u003e fills this gap, and offers a novel look at the concept of 'childhood' and children's rights within the tradition of liberal theories of justice. Brando proposes an ambitious deconstruction of the concept of 'childhood', and an Adaptive model of children's rights as the most apt way of including children within liberal discourses on justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNicol?s Brando, \u003cem\u003eDerby Fellow, School of Law and Social Justice, University of Liverpool\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNicol?s Brando\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Colombian philosopher working on childhood and children's rights, with a particular focus on theories of justice, children's rights, vulnerability, and the capabilities approach.
