Education for Citizenship : Ideas and Innovations in Political Learning

This book addresses the challenge of education for citizenship at a specific, concrete level.

It offers examples of efforts to create among our students a new set of what Tocqueville called mores or culturally defining 'habits of the heart' which will enhance citizenship, foster a sense of connectedness to a community stretching beyond the university, and ultimately, support the practices, basic values, and institutions necessary for the democratic process.
