Book Overview

The Palgrave Handbook of Citizenship and Education provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the current field of citizenship and education. It draws on insights from a range of disciplines to explore historical, philosophical, theological, sociological and psychological ideas on how the two concepts intersect and is international in scope, authorship and readership.

Sections

Five sections provide a clear outline of:

• Foundational thinkers on, and the theories of, citizenship and education;
• Citizenship and education in national and localised contexts;
• Citizenship and education in transnational contexts;
• Youth, advocacy, citizenship and education;
• Contemporary insights on citizenship and education;

An essential resource for scholars interested in how theorizations of citizenship, civic identity and participatory democracy are, and could be, operationalized within educational theories, educational debates, educational curricular, and pedagogic practices.
