This book focuses on two important issues: European citizenship and the role of education in its development. It provides practitioners (educational policy-makers, teachers and students) and others with a better understanding of the meaning and implications of the concept of European citizenship as well as discussing practical strategies for citizenship education. The book is a collection of specially commissioned papers by writers with extensive specialist experience. Throughout there is discussion about both political and educational issues. This integrated approach is both authoritative and tentative and allows for the value of the work of both the political scientists and the educationalists to be made clear. The political scientists who discuss such matters as the ideology of citizenship, the nature of European political institutions and the values of European citizens provide and explore ideas for the educationalists who are finding ways forward within schools and colleges. The book challenges the reader to consider the meaning of citizenship and to reflect on some attempts to develop education for European citizenship. Chapters are grouped together into four sections: The meaning of citizenship; the context of European citizenship: Institutions and policies; European citizenship: empirical approach; European citizenship: practical approaches.
