This book originates from a collaborative research initiative to
examine how various societies in the Asia- Pacific Region construct
moral and civic education, and to what extent these systems achieve
the democratic objective of creating socially responsible citizens.
In many western societies there is at least a rhetorical tendency
to separate the moral and civic dimensions of citizenship
education, and in some cases to exclude the moral dimension from
the discourse of preparing citizens. However, as cross-societal
dialogues and research about citizenship education have increased
in the past two decades, scholars have identified differences in
the emphasis put on the moral dimension of citizenship education
across the Asia-Pacific region. In many predominantly Confucian,
Islamic and Buddhist societies, for example, the emphasis on the
moral dimension of citizenship education is explicit, and in some
cases, central. While awareness of a divide, or perhaps more
appropriately a continuum in the role of moral versus civic
education in democratic societies has been recognized for some
time, to our knowledge this book marks the first effort of this
scope to address the issue of the moral/civic divide in citizenship
education. Thus, through a cross-cultural dialogue across societies
in the Asia-Pacific Region, this book addresses the issue of
whether elements of both civic and moral education can be
effectively joined to create a "socially responsible" citizen.
