Reviews

"Global democratic education is one of the most important tools for advancing global justice. In this important new book, Julian Culp argues against methodological nationalism in education and defends both a cosmopolitan right to democratic education and educational reforms enabling genuinely transnational processes of opinion formation. The book is an exciting invitation to engage with a topic that has been unjustly neglected for a long time." Lea Ypi, Professor in Political Theory, Department of Government, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK"In an age when citizens’ fates are connected across borders – by climate change, migration, international trade and finance, and more – democratic agency must also cross borders. Julian Culp makes a compelling case that education for citizenship within democratic countries is not adequate to the demands of democratic justice in a global era. His important book offers a bold vision of global democratic citizenship education anchored by a robust account of global political justice. Democratic theorists, political philosophers, and philosophers of education have much to learn from this book."
Melissa S. Williams, Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto, Canada"Die ausgezeichnete Studie von Julian Culp dürfte vor allem die Aufmerksamkeit all denjenigen Wissenschaftler/innen auf sich ziehen, die an der Schnittstelle zwischen Bildungsphilosophie und Politischer Philosophie forschen."
"Julian Culp’s excellent study should be of interest to all those scholars who work at the intersection of philosophy of education and political philosophy."
