With the growth of terrorism, instability in the EU following
recession, and the acceleration of support for right-wing political
parties in Europe, discussions on the nature of democracy and
democratic citizenship have never been more important. Exploring
the relationship between democratic values, classroom practices and
neo-liberalist ideology in England and in Finland, Educating for
Democracy argues that it is the role of governments and the
education systems they support to create teachers and students who
can voice critically appraised judgements to guide their
citizenship. With chapters co-written by English and Finnish
authors, this book analyses the history and current state of
education systems in England and Finland, with reference to other
European countries, in order to establish whether they are
effective in creating democratically-minded citizens. Recent years
have seen decreasing control of educator professionalism as
governments have become more concerned about economic growth, and
in some cases, survival. The contributors to this volume question
whether educators are becoming less effectual as a result,
exploring the idea that democracy is a dying concept, and asking
whether educators are now simply creating cogs for the
neo-liberalistic/capitalist machine. This book will be essential
reading for academics and researchers in the fields of teacher
education, education studies and comparative education. It will
also be of great interest to those concerned with issues
surrounding citizenship, democracy and the role of the government
in education.
