Informationen zum Autor Edited by Cameron White and Roger Openshaw - Contributions by Hugh Barr; Carole Basile; Joe Bishop; John Codd; Keith Crawford; Susan Gibson; Hans Hooghoff; Hiromitsu Inokuchi; David Landrum; Helen Lawson; Roberta McKay; Carol Mutch; Yoshiko Nozaki; Warren Klappentext In Democracy at the Crossroads, the editors argue that there have been too few scholarly attempts to provide a comprehensive critique of the assumptions behind citizenship education. In particular, they ask the distinguished contributors to this volume to address difficult but essential questions that are often avoided or intentionally overlooked: What do all-embracing terms like 'global citizenship' really mean? What does democracy mean internationally? A timely work, Democracy at the Crossroad provides a necessary examination and re-interpretation of international perspectives on democracy and global citizenship as they apply to social education.
