Il trafugamento dagli archivi statunitensi di centinaia di migliaia di documenti ha rivoluzionato nel 2010 il panorama informativo mondiale, imponendo il “caso WikiLeaks” all’attenzione generale. Gli inconfessabili retroscena dell’invasione dell’Iraq e i reali motivi della presenza militare in Afghanistan costituiscono solo una parte dei dispacci diplomatici centrati sulla politica estera statunitense, ovvero sul sistema di potere che condiziona gli assetti internazionali.

This book addresses the endangerment of children’s bodies in affluent societies. Bodily integrity is an important part of a child’s physical and mental well-being, but it can also be violated through various threats during childhood; not only affecting physical health but also causing mental damage and leading to distortions in the development of the self. The authors give an account of three areas, which present different serious dangers: (1) body and eating, (2) body and sexuality, and (3) body and violence. Through an in-depth examination of the available theoretical and empirical knowledge, as well as a thorough ethical analysis, the central injustices in the mentioned areas are identified and the agents with responsibilities towards children displayed. The authors conclude by providing invaluable insight into the necessity of an ethical basis for policies to safeguard children and their bodies.
