The idea of citizenship and conceptions of what it means to be a
good citizen have evolved over time. On the one hand, good
citizenship entails the ability to live with others in diverse
societies and to promote a common set of values of acceptance,
human rights, and democracy. On the other hand, in order to compete
in the global economy, nations require a more innovative,
autonomous, and reflective workforce, meaning good citizens are
also those who successfully participate in the economic development
of themselves and their country. These competing conceptions of
good citizenship can result in people's participation in
activities, such as profit-driven labor exploitation, that
contradict human rights and democratic tenants. Thus, global
citizenship education is fundamental to teaching, learning, and
redressing sociopolitical, economic, and environmental exploitation
around the world. Detailing the historical development of this
field of study to achieve recognition, Global Citizenship
Education: Challenges and Successes provides a critical discourse
on global citizenship education (GCE). Authors in this collection
discuss the underpinnings of global citizenship education via
contemporary theories and methodologies, as well as specific case
studies that illustrate the application of GCE initiatives. Editors
Eva Aboagye and S. Nombuso Dlamini aim to motivate learners and
educators in post-secondary institutions not only to understand the
issues of social and economic inequality and political and civil
unrest facing us, but also to take action that will lead to
equitable change in both local and global spaces.
