Based on 10 country reports, it examines quality assurance requirements in the field of education for democratic citizenship (EDC) and compares the specific evaluation systems in those countries. It also provides a feasibility study on relevant conditions for implementing the tool and aims to serve as a set of orientation guidelines for policy makers, a case study on implementation for researchers and a source book for education practitioners.--Publisher's description.
