A MULTIDIMENSIONAL PERSPECTIVE IN THE STUDY OF CHILDREN´S POLITICAL ACTIONS

Abstract

The study of the children´s political actions requires a
multidimensional approach. We present a theoretical
reflection that addresses articulating elements to study
this social phenomenon. As a macrological dimension we
identify cultural and structural determinants that condition
the deployment of children´s political actiones, and
as a micrological dimension we maintain that girls and
boys are political actors with the ability to narrate and
act on issues that affect them and are of common interest.
Likewise, we propose childhood co-protagonism and
intergenerational cooperation as elements that guide
and expand the study of the children´s political actions by
highlighting the capacities of girls and boys to influence
their realities, and by proposing meetings and intergenerational
dialogues that promote fair and equitative relationships
between the worlds of adults and childhood.
