Opis

This book examines the approach to civic education in six societies located on the Pacific Rim: Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and the US. In these scrupulously designed studies, the contributors investigate the recent re-emergence of civic education in this region. These essays reveal how definitions of citizenship are contested and revised under such influences as globalization, nationalism and sovereignty.

Recenzje

"Cogan, Morris and Print have edited a worthwile collection...The authors have done those of us who work in universities, ministries of education as well as in other institutional situations an invaluable service in providing a template of how six differing societies are attempting to reconcile the newly emerging civic notions with established culture and tradition." -- McGill Journal of Education
