Description

This handbook gives a new scientific perspective to youth and childhood studies as multi scientific and interdisciplinary subjects which as such have not yet found their own framing in a particular discipline. It focuses on childhood and youth to address the emerging consensus that the boundaries between childhood, youth and adulthood are blurred.
