Education for Democratic Citizenship: Issues of Theory and Practice

The Crick Committee Report provided the impetus and rationale for the Citizenship Order which introduced citizenship education as a compulsory element of the core curriculum in all secondary schools in England from 2002. This important volume provides a comprehensive study of the concept of democratic citizenship (including its conditions and pre-requisites), which has an established place in higher education courses in politics, social policy, sociology and social philosophy. This book presents an invaluable combination of original essays from established authors and previously published seminal articles specially revised for the volume.
