From the Vault: Good Reads on Children and Politics

On 26 August, 2019

While Justice Everywhere takes a break over the summer, we recall from our archives some memorable posts from our 2018-2019 season.

Here are three good reads on issues relating to children and democracy that you may have missed or be interested to re-read:

Nicolas Brando’s post, which addresses the question: Why should children have the right to vote?
Aveek Bhattacharya on Votes for children: going back to first principles, which discusses a set of criteria or reasons why democratic participation is important, and argues that these apply to children as well.
The guest contribution of Nikolas Mattheis, In defence of children’s civil disobedience, in which he analyses and defends the recent school strikes for the climate.

Justice Everywhere will return in full swing on 2nd September with fresh weekly posts by our regular authors. If you have a suggestion for a topic or would like to contribute a guest post on a topical subject in political philosophy (broadly construed), please feel free to get in touch with us at justice.everywhere.blog@gmail.com.
