Democratic Competences and Social Practices in Organizations (Paperback, 2012 ed.)

The contributions in this book adress the question of how to develop and foster democratic competences. This may take place via school curricula, resource materials and tea-ching/learning methods; in workplaces by means of formalised arrangements that encourage self-direction and through the informal processes engendered by expansive working environ-ments; and in personal and community life, including in the course of incidental learning in social networks, including as consumers. The studies and analyses are somewhat nonconformist in its thematic spread and its boundary-crossing between disciplines and perspectives that conventionally live separate lives.
