Description and Table of Contents
Description
Citizenship is a topical and controversial area of discussion and debate. This book explains the issues linked to citizenship from local, national and international perspectives. It pays attention to both theory and practice and will make an important contribution just when schools and society are being challenged to come to understanding and agreements about what citizenship means and how this works in practice. Against the background of the establishment of the Citizenship Foundations, a variety of research initiatives and the inclusion of citizenship in the National Curriculum as a cross-curriculum theme, this book, with its wide coverage of the topic, should come at an appropriate moment.
