Asian Perspectives in Global Citizenship Education

This book fills an existing gap within the practice of global citizenship education by offering Asian perspectives.

In this book, Soka or value-creating education developed by the Japanese educators, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944) and Daisaku Ikeda (b. 1928) is compared to the ideas of the Indian political leader Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948).

This study of their respective thoughts and movements has a significant bearing on the three domains of learning within the global citizenship education conceptual dimensions of UNESCO – the cognitive, socio-emotional, and behavioral.

This book deftly combines theoretical discussions with themes and suggestions for practice and future research.
