This study addresses the questions of to what extent, through which mechanisms and to what ends child rights and protection become part and parcel of national and local refugee governance schemes. To examine complex relations and coordination mechanisms, it sets forth a conceptual framework drawing from the scholarship on child rights governance, vulnerability and humanitarian paternalism. We argue that the politics of subsidiarity among local, national and international actors, their capabilities, paternalism in humanitarian intervention and the utilization of vulnerability terminology shape the process in which international principles and standards on children rights and protection translate into practices and programs. Based on interviews and participatory observation with multiple stakeholders in 2018 and 2019 in three border cities of South-Eastern Turkey, we show how the refugee children protection field of Turkey experience the lack of the desired level of coordination and cooperation among actors, actor hierarchies and short-term earmarked funding, especially at reception. These problems impede creating remedies not only for urgent protection risks such as gender-based violence and child labor but also establishing a long-term rights-based perspective.

这项研究解决了儿童权利和保护在多大程度上、通过哪些机制以及以何种目的成为国家和地方难民治理计划的重要组成部分的问题。为了研究复杂的关系和协调机制，它提出了一个概念框架，该框架借鉴了关于儿童权利治理、脆弱性和人道主义家长主义的奖学金。我们认为，地方、国家和国际行为者之间的从属政治、他们的能力、人道主义干预中的家长式作风以及脆弱性术语的使用，塑造了有关儿童权利和保护的国际原则和标准转化为实践和计划的过程。基于 2018 年和 2019 年在土耳其东南部三个边境城市与多个利益相关者的访谈和参与式观察，我们展示了土耳其的难民儿童保护领域如何缺乏行动者、行动者等级和行动者之间所需的协调与合作水平。短期专用资金，特别是在接待处。这些问题不仅阻碍了针对基于性别的暴力和童工等紧急保护风险的补救措施，而且阻碍了建立基于权利的长期观点。
