Summary

This book identifies fundamental issues in the field of education for democracy, human rights, and tolerance. Ten case studies examine educational responses in a wide range of cultural, social, and economic contexts. Set against a comparative analytical framework, the case studies explore the complexities, challenges, and opportunities inherent in attempting to use education as a mechanism for fostering understanding and tolerance. With contributions from Brazil, Chile, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, the Philippines, Poland, South Africa, and the United States, this unique collection offers a cross- and intercultural approach to the issue of education for democracy.
