Neo-Liberalism, Globalization and Human Capital Learning - Reclaiming Education for Democratic Citizenship (Hardcover, 2006 ed.)

With a highly accessible and lucid text this book reviews the political shift toward neo-liberal ideology and explores its tremendous impact on education. It maps out in careful detail the theoretical foundations of democratic citizenship by asking the question: What does it mean to learn and live in a democracy and what responsibilities, capacities and knowledge does a citizen need to fulfill these requirements?
