Abstract

This paper reflects upon the impact of globalization on child protection and child welfare issues. It suggests a framework to begin to consider such issues by looking at the inter relationships between the global and the local. The potential development of the framework is highlighted by looking at issues arising from a high profile child protection case in Britain, and the global issue of sex tourism.
