Rezensionen

"Citizenship, Democracy and Higher Education in Europe, Canada and the USA dissects citizenship education at the university, crossing regional boundaries and cultures. ... While the compilation of essays and approaches shared in Citizenship, Democracy, and Higher Education is valuable as a whole, some chapters stand out as particularly enlightening for readers who are new to the topic. ... the work as a whole is indeed worthwhile, and its completion should be regarded as a success." (Kathleen A. Tobin, Global Education Review, Vol. 3 (3), 2016)
