This book has received the AESA (American Educational Studies
Association) Critics Choice Award 2013. There is a widespread, but
mainly untenable, assumption that education in Western societies
(and elsewhere) intuitively and horizontally aids the democratic
development of people. An argument could be made that in
contemporary liberal democracies, education was never designed for
the well-being of societies. Instead of the full inclusion of
everyone in educational development, it becomes dominated by those
with a vested interest in the role of the liberal state as a
mediating agent that, ultimately, assures the supremacy of the
capitalism and neoliberalism. This book extends beyond a
theoretical analysis of democratic education, seeking to tap into
the substantial experiences, perspectives and research of a wide
range of leading scholars from diverse vantage points, who bring
themselves and their work into the debate connecting democracy and
education, which elucidates the reference to counter-hegemonic
possibilities in the title.
