Globalisation and citizenship education
journal contribution
posted on 2005-12-08, 11:09 authored by Jack DemaineThis article discusses the notion of globalisation by reference to
several of its proponents and critics. Issues of citizenship education in an era of
global electronic communications are examined and the author argues that
citizenship education that has a global dimension will necessarily be concerned
with economic, social and political inequalities between citizens both within and
between nation states. Global divisions involve fundamental inequalities of
resources, rights to residence and much else. Since globalisation invokes
differing responses from citizens around the world and within nation states it is
likely that global citizenship education will have varied effects.
