Children's rights and children's welfare after the Convention on the Rights of the Child
In: Progress in development studies, Volume 13, Issue 1, p. 19-30
ISSN: 1477-027X
This article addresses how far international rights charters and the rights claims they give rise to act as levers for development through a discussion of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most widely ratified rights Convention of recent times. It recognizes the seminal importance of rights charters but also argues that the Convention is a relatively weak instrument when it comes to changing the material realities of vulnerable children's lives, especially in the Global South. The difficulties of attaching welfare agendas to rights claims are discussed in the article.

Democratization and Ideational Diffusion: Europe, Mercosur and Social Citizenship*
In: Journal of common market studies: JCMS, Volume 45, Issue 1, p. 43-68
ISSN: 1468-5965
AbstractPolicies in support of democratic transition aim to reconfigure the dominant norm set in previously authoritarian states and societies. The EU's commitment to such policies is well‐established. This article discusses what the EU does when it offers democratic support, using the example of Mercosur. The evidence presented here suggests that EU policy in Mercosur is premised on assumptions of a positive identity relationship with local governing elites. In fact, however, it is not clear that democracy is understood in the same way in Mercosur as in the EU. As a result, policies resonate less than expected.
