Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last two decades interest in children's development of good citizenship has grown among political and educational theorists in the Western world, leading to much debate about the concept of citizenship education. In this study, a specific approach to citizenship education is proposed, namely a virtue-ethical approach, which explicitly links citizenship education to moral education. From the virtue-ethical point of view, citizenship education is aimed at developing the civic virtues (attitudes that enable citizens to contribute to society), such as justice, tolerance and solidarity. Since this study focuses on teachers in Catholic education, these three virtues have been interpreted from a community-centred, active perspective, which is supposed to fit the normative framework of Catholic schools. The central question of this study is to what extent teachers in Dutch Catholic primary education possess the qualities that are needed to stimulate students' civic virtues, and in what way these qualities can be improved. Two kinds of moral pedagogical teacher behaviour are central: the teachers' modelling behaviour and the way teachers arrange their moral classroom discussions. These two kinds of behaviour will be studied as well as their relationship with the teachers' moral beliefs. Furthermore, a teacher course that is designed to stimulate these two kinds of moral pedagogical behaviour is evaluated. Frank Willems (1979, Boxmeer) lived in Vierlingsbeek, a small town in the south eastern part of the Netherlands, the first twenty-two years of his life. After finishing Teacher Training College in 2002, he moved to Nijmegen to study educational sciences at the Radboud University. The next year, he also started studying philosophy of education at the same university. In 2007 he finished both studies. Since that time, he had been working as a junior researcher at the IKO (Institute for Catholic Education), which is connected to the Radboud University. He was involved in research and he developed tools for schools for the implementation of the insights of his study. Currently, Frank is working as a product coordinator at Examenadviesburo, a small company in Nieuwegein (near Utrecht). He is involved in the development of exams for all kinds of professions (brokers, insurers, accountants, and others).

Book excerpt: By analysing Rousseau's conception of the general will, Zev Trachtenberg characterises the attitude of civic virtue Rousseau believes individuals must have to cooperate successfully in society. Rousseau holds that culture affects political life by either fostering or discouraging civic virtue. However, while the cultural institutions Rousseau endorses would motivate citizens to obey the law, they would not prepare citizens to help frame it. Rousseau's view of culture thus works against his account of legitimacy, and Trachtenberg concludes that Rousseau's political theory as a whole is inconsistent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, environmental issues have increasingly been incorporated into liberal democratic thought and political practice. Environmentalism and ecologism have become fashionable, even respectable schools of political thought. This apparently successful integration of environmental movements, issues and ideas in mainstream politics raises the question of whether there is a future for what once was a counter-movement and counter-ideology. Liberal Democracy and Environmentalism provides a reflective assessment of recent developments, social relevance and future of environmental political theory, concluding that although the alleged pacification of environmentalism is more than skin deep, it is not yet quite deep enough. This book will appeal to students and researchers of social science and philosophers with an interest in environmental issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composed by the leading historians in the field, this single-volume encyclopedia on Reconstruction delivers the most concise, focused, and readable reference work available to educators and students. In many ways, the Civil War destroyed the American South, the Democratic Party, and slavery, with much of the nation left in ruins. What was to become of former slaves—and of former confederates? Yet the unprecedented turmoil that followed the war presented the United States with great opportunities. How America tried to solve the problems and take advantage of opportunities after the Civil War is the focus of this encyclopedia, which provides the core elements necessary for researching and understanding the complex period in U.S. history known as Reconstruction. The volume offers a concise introduction to and chronology of the Reconstruction period, scores of entries composed by subject experts, and an appendix that features key primary documents. The entries have been carefully chosen for their importance and relevance, are written in language accessible to high school students, and supply useful references for further investigation. This volume will be indispensable for research into Reconstruction and affords anyone studying the United States during this period insight and perspective, whether the topic be African American history, the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, or the coming of sharecropping.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the liberal arts and sciences (LAS) model of education can inspire reform across higher education to help students acquire crucial civic virtues. Based on interviews with 59 students from LAS programmes across Europe, the book posits that LAS education can develop a range of citizenship skills that are central to the democratic process. The interviews provide insight into how studying LAS prepares students for citizenship by asking them to reflect on their education, what it taught them, and how it did so. Building on these insights, seven key democratic competencies are identified and linked to concrete educational practices that foster them, leading to an agenda for higher education reform. Ultimately arguing for making the teaching of civic virtue a more central part of university education in Europe, this book will appeal to researchers, educators, and politicians with an interest in education policy, philosophy of education, and democratic theory, as well as concerned citizens.
