In this article we argue that what is missing in children’s rights studies is not so much the presence of theories, but rather reflections and discussions about the normative relevance, analytical qualities and explanatory powers of the mobilised theories. We consider theorisations in children’s rights, first, on the normative level, where there is a need to continue reflecting about the moral and legal rights children have and/or should have, and about how these rights can be further exercised, or need to be balanced against one another. Next, we look at the analytical merits of the concept intersectionality to consider simultaneously differences and similarities between children’s rights and other categories of fundamental rights, as well as to reflect on the very categories that are employed. We then discuss empirical implications of globalisation processes, that have significantly impacted on how children’s rights are taking shape in the world, and how interconnections between local and global spheres shape imaginations, discourses, normative frameworks, policies and programmes in the field of children’s rights.

No sistema judicial português os espaços da justiça foram desenhados por adultos e estruturados para os adultos, embora acolham uma grande diversidade de destinatários. Nesses vivencia-se a dimensão relacional e a expressão do exercício de poder, mas, sobretudo, publicita-se e expõem-se o privado, revelam-se as emoções e os conflitos, monitorizam-se as competências e escrutinam-se as fragilidades. Da investigação advém a existência de momentos de exclusão das crianças e da infância, a continuidade na reprodução de preconceitos e de uma cultura de não participação endémica. Confirma-se ainda que as conceptualizações sobre a infância e as crianças têm repercussões na práxis, uma vez que persiste uma imagem que as associa à falta de capacidade, espelhada na e pela sua menoridade. Assevera-se assim a contemporaneidade da criança enquanto premissa basilar, quer pela sua presença na amplitude da vida humana como pelo contributo válido e valioso que presta na composição dos seus mundos vividos.
