Democracy should enable citizens to play an informed role in
determining how power is exercised for their common wellbeing, but
this only works if people have the understanding, skills and
confidence to engage effectively in public affairs. Otherwise, any
voting system can be subverted to serve the interests of
propagandists and demagogues. This book brings together leading
experts on learning for democracy to explore why and how the gap in
civic competence should be bridged. Drawing on research findings
and case examples from the UK, the US and elsewhere, it will set
out why change is necessary, what could be taught differently to
ensure effective political engagement, and how a lasting impact in
improving citizens' learning for democratic participation can be
made.
