Description

The post cold-war world has become characterized by fierce new assertions of nationalism and sovereignty. Many regions - such as Bosnia, Somalia and Northern Ireland - are threatened by violent ethnic, religious and cultural strife. Almost daily, television screens show the faces of frightened children caught up in war, yet research into the effects of war on children is patchy and not well known. If these children manage to survive, are they scarred psychologically?
