Conflict and Mediation in International Groups of Children

Since the late twentieth century, projects aimed at encouraging the participation of children were widespread in various social systems and also gained considerable attention in the field of social sciences (e.g. Christensen and O'Brien 2003; Tisdall et al. 2006; Percy Smith and Thomas 2010). These studies were mainly aimed at analysing policies that promote participation or meanings formulated by the participants, rather than the interaction that involves them.
