Title: Advancing democracy through education?
Description: This book explores the diversity of American roles in education for democracy cross-culturally, both within the United States and around the world. This collection provides a rich sampling of the diverse contexts and ways in which American ideas, practices, and policies of education for democracy are spread, encountered, appropriated, rejected, or embraced around the world. This volume introduces concepts, identifies processes, notes obstacles and challenges, and reveals common themes that can help us to understand American influence on education for democracy more clearly, wherever it occurs.--BOOK JACKET.
