Review:
"This book reports on the daunting task of orchestrating the efforts, in nine countries, of four citizenship education research teams in Asia, Europe, and North America. The participants have performed admirably in coordinating their activities to produce a joint statement about the future of citizenship education in their regions, in particular, and throughout the world, in general. This book provides an example of a democratic effort to involve others in creating democracy and is worthwhile reading for citizenship educators and researchers as well as for policy makers and citizens." -- Comparative Education Review"Cogan (Univ. of Minnesota) and Derricott (Univ. of Liverpool) delineate the findings of the Citizenship Education Policy Study Group (1993-97). Its task was to forecast the changing status of citizenship during the next 25 years and to chart multidimensional pedagogic aims and processes for future civic development. The editors include national case studies from England, Wales, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Canada, Japan, Thailand, and the United States. Using the Delphi method cross-culturally, the text relies on the opinions of a panel of experts. Though sporadically alluded to in the book, the voices of actual teachers in the trenches are less audible. In the end, the editors' challenges for implementation presage a continuing debate on the research agenda for citizenship in a divided, fractured world, but one in which the school could ideally become a model for wider community. Graduate students." CHOICE
