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.
