  3. 2. A Girl Disciplined is A Girl Saved? Child Marriage Discourses in U.S. National, Foreign, and Immigration Policy

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS)

    Author : Eva Rozsa; [2019]
    Keywords : Child Marriage; United States; Third World Girl; Postcolonial Feminism; Adolescent Sexuality; Biopolitics; Human Rights;

    Abstract : 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. Is child marriage represented as a ‘problem’ in the same way internally as externally, and how do human rights play a role? Using Bacchi’s “What’s the Problem Represented to be?” approach, the problem representations emerge, showing that child marriage functions as a ‘solution’ to welfare ‘problems’ in national policy, as an obstacle to economic prosperity in foreign policy; and as a ‘foreign’ culture ‘problem’ in immigration policy.
