This important book provides valuable insights into the changing nature of contemporary citizenship, and uses critical and comparative perspectives to explore the curriculum and pedagogical implications of such changes. It is an invaluable resource for teachers, curriculum planners and curriculum theorists as they grapple to find the most appropriate ways to help young people become active citizens in a globalising world.
