European studies 3
Content:
The major theme of this book is the reconceptualization and integration of politics, political science, socialization, cognitive studies, and education from both cross-national and likely 21st century perspectives. It is based on the work of 31 scholars from 11 countries who contributed papers to two International Political Science Association conferences in 1991 and 1992. The volume has six parts which, inter alia, contrast different political and cultural environments, treat the topics of political socialization and political education, and discuss the main theme of reconceptualization in terms of integrating ideas useful for the future development of the politics and/of education in an international context. While some of the research findings are country-specific, many chapters contain material of international importance since they are concerned with democratizing schools, politics, and socialization experiences. Other studies also emphasize the key role of education in developing students' problem-solving, decision-making, and policy analysis skills. Still others address the overriding issues of pluralism, race, ethnicity, gender, civil society, and nationalism/national identity in new ways more consistent with the objective of a globalized citizenship education. Taken as a whole, these separate studies are particularly useful for the reader interested in understanding the requirements for reconceptualizing and reformulating political education and socialization research and practice in light of the unanticipated political realities of the post-cold-war world which, more than ever before, require us to think globally, while acting locally, to improve our own countries, states, and communities, as well as ourselves in the process. 〈dt.〉
