Abstract
The unprecedented institutionalization and mainstreaming of children and youth participation in international decision-making processes in recent decades has significantly accelerated the organization of various bodies and strategies in areas such as climate, peace and security, health, and migration. In the context of The Global Forum on Migration and Development and The Global Compact for Migration, migration governance has experienced a major expansion, formalization, and institutionalization of children and youth representation, what I call a ‘representative breakthrough’. Despite significant growth in the presence of young delegates in governance processes, these forms of political representation have developed along discursive and institutional trajectories that limit what kinds of representations are facilitated. I argue that including young people in global governance on matters affecting them has led to recognition and advancement of their rights and interests, but also a technology of government resulting in non-performance of child and youth representation.
