The essays in this edited collection argue that global citizenship education has to be viewed within the context of our contemporary political realities. As a form of education it must actively engage in a critically informed way with a set plex historical issues that emerge out of a colonial past and the often heavy handed globalization which can perpetuate unequal power relations or cause new inequalities.
The essays in the book explore these notions and the emergent world ideologies of globalism, as well as presenting territorial conflicts, ethnic, tribal and nationalist rivalries, issues associated with increasing international migration and asylum, growing regional imbalances and increasing world inequalities. Contributors to this collection, each in their own way, argue that global citizenship education needs to assert new values, to re-examine contemporary affairs, and to debate the language, concepts and theories of global citizenship. It must also engage critically with the proto-world institutions that seek to give expression
