Though certainly not a new idea, citizenship education manifests in unique and often unpredictable ways in our contemporary neoliberal era. The question of what it means to be a productive and recognized citizen must now be understood simultaneously along both global and local lines. This edited volume offers an international perspective on citizenship education enacted in specific socio-political contexts. Each chapter includes a pointed conceptualization of citizenship education—a philosophical framework—that is then applied to specific national cases across Europe, Asia, Canada and more. Chapters emphasize how such frameworks are implemented within local contexts, encouraging particular pedagogical/curricular practices even as they constrain others. Chapters conclude with suggestions for productive change and how educators might usefully engage contemporary contexts through citizenship education.

"Citizenship Education around the World offers valuable insight into the educational history and present conditions of individual countries and counters the idea that true citizenship education is best understood in narrow economic terms. This is an important addition to the critical literature on comparative education policy as well as to the growing body of critical work on the aims and impact of neo-liberalism." --Walter Feinberg, the University of Illinois, USA
"In this terrific introduction to the challenges of citizenship education in a globalized world, scholars from around the world thoroughly explore what it means to create productive citizens. This thoughtful book forces the reader to consider how much more citizen education can be and why that matters. An important book for those who care about citizenship education." --David C. Berliner, Arizona State University, USA
