First Published in 1996. The current world order poses new
challenges to the theory and practice of peace education. Drawing
on data gathered from around the world, Burns and Aspeslagh focus
on how peace is presented in formal and informal educational
settings and what effects ideologies have in shaping that
presentation. The book views peace education in the context of
education about other major social and political issues and in a
variety of geopolitical settings, exploring factors that affect the
generation, selection, organization, transmission, and evaluation
of knowledge for peace. Following a review of major approaches to
policy and praxis in peace education, the editors draw on original
research to offer interpretations based on pragmatic, normative,
and conceptual approaches to the individual, the state, and the
role of political literacy. The use of a comparative educational
framework that goes beyond curriculum studies and descriptive case
studies presents a perspective that is innovative, and timely. The
volume includes both bibliography and index.
