This book explores citizenship education and democracy in the
Netherlands. From the Second World War to the present day, debates
about civic education and democracy have raged in the country: this
book demonstrates how citizens, social movements and political
elites have articulated their own notions of democracy. Civic
education illustrates democracy as an essentially contested concept
- the transmission of political ideals highlights conflicting
democratic values and a problem of paternalism. Ultimately, who
dictates what democracy is, and to whom? As expectations of
citizens rise, they are viewed more and more as objects of a
pedagogical project, itself a controversial notion. Focusing on
what democracy means practically in society, this book will be of
interest to scholars of citizenship education and post-war Dutch
political history.
