This article proposes an ethical global citizenship education (GCE) framework by offering the following five dimensions: values-creation, identity progression, collective involvement, glocal disposition, and an intergenerational mindset. Ethical GCE draws on a multiplicity of critical literatures to identify characteristics of each of these dimensions. It goes beyond neoliberal/market-driven principles toward ethical perspectives promoting social responsibility, justice, human rights, and glocal sustainability. With further theoretical development and strategies toward implementation, the framework has the potential to be deployed in future research and evaluation of the complex teaching and learning processes involved in GCE, particularly in a values-based perspective.

This book, a collection of essays by some of Britain's leading academics, public intellectuals and political practitioners, seeks to engage with the 'big picture' of British social democracy, both historical and contemporary, and point to grounds for greater optimism for its future prospects.

Amidst 'Brexit', a divided and out of power Labour Party, and the wider international rise of populism, contemporary British social democracy appears in a state of crisis. This book, a collection of essays by some of Britain's leading academics, public intellectuals and political practitioners, seeks to engage with the 'big picture' of British social democracy, both historical and contemporary, and point to grounds for greater optimism for its future prospects. It does so in honour of the renowned centre-left thinker David Marquand. Drawing on many of the themes which have preoccupied Marquand in his career and his writing, such as social democratic citizenship, values and participation, the volume offers the original perspective that social democracy is as much about cultures and mindsets as it is about economic policy or public institutions.

One possible way to address the North Korean nuclear threat is by beginning a series of incremental steps to gradually lessen tension and lead to eventual peace on the Korean Peninsula. Such steps could include halting North Korea's nuclear-weapons testing and further advancement of its nuclearweapons program in return for scaling back joint military exercises between the United States and South Korea; reducing North Korea's nuclear stockpiles in exchange for special development aid to North Korea for targeted economic, social, and public health initiatives; a moratorium on North Korean missile testing in exchange for the suspension of United States missile-defense systems in South Korea, and, providing earlier steps were successful, a peace treaty ending the Korean War. Recognizing what it would take for these initiatives to emerge requires also reckoning with the inevitable obstacles.

Social democratic citizenship can be regarded as the fulfilment of not only civil and political rights but also social and economic rights – rights to education, health care, living wages, unemployment insurance and pensions – and it is all too obvious that these rights have eroded severely in recent decades across the ‘developed’ world. The gutting of trade unions, the reduction of full-time jobs paying decent living wages in favour of temporary and part-time underemployment, the mounting unaffordability of essential public goods such as education and housing, the widening gaps in health care and social welfare provisions, and the continuing

For all the continuing scholarly interest in cosmopolitanism and the everwidening public discourses regarding global citizenship, these ideas continue to face an uphill climb in everyday political and social life. This paper first takes stock of the impediments keeping cosmopolitan ideas in the relative margins, particularly in Europe and North America. I examine resistance to cosmopolitanism among influential segments of the population - especially in a climate of acute economic anxiety - shortcomings within governing institutions, and deficiencies in academic debates that have kept cosmopolitanism, at times, all too detached from issues expressly tied to global governance. Then the paper turns to other parts of the world and points to some of the ways that cosmopolitanism and its related concepts have been gradually gaining currency and credibility across the 'global south', especially in countries recently undergoing democratic transitions.

It is intellectually fashionable to be gloomy about the current state of the political world and about British progressive and social democratic politics more specifically. There are some good grounds for this. The British Labour Party’s electoral defeats since 2010, its profound internal divisions since the election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader in 2015, the collapse of the Liberal Democrats, the fragmentation of progressivism in Scotland and, above all, the 2016 referendum vote in favour of ‘Brexit’, are all situated in a broader international context in which social democratic and liberal parties have struggled to maintain traction amidst the rise

The myriad essays in this collection have set forth the habits, mindsets and qualities of social democratic citizens as well as the political circumstances and economic conditions necessary for a robust version of social democracy to take hold. Several authors have also explored how the writings of David Marquand throughout the past five decades have offered a distinct interpretation with regard to social democratic as well as civic republican endeavours: whether the United Kingdom might be on the cusp of a ‘Marquandian moment’ of democratic renewal, as Stuart White proposed, or whether ‘Marquandism’, as Neal Lawson argued, offers a pathway

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 brought a sobering reminder to Americans about the importance of keeping well informed on international news and the need to understand how American politics, society and culture are perceived abroad.
