2. A Girl Disciplined is A Girl Saved? Child Marriage Discourses in U.S. National, Foreign, and Immigration Policy
Kandidat-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS)Sammanfattning : Child marriage, usually regarded as an issue pertaining to the non-‘developed’ parts of the world, can still be found in the United States (US), though efforts to combat it shape foreign policy goals.
