Across the globe citizenship education is high on the reform agendas of policy makers and educators. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the entry of former Soviet bloc states into the European Union, the fragmentation of the former Yugoslavia, the major population movements from poor to rich countries, and the increased threats of international terrorism and civil wars in many states have all added to the need to provide up-dated and reflective approaches to citizenship education. Within nation states, the impact of globalisation on social, economic and political structures has caused power shifts across and within international borders demanding greater citizenship awareness and participation. The effect of these changes and the practice and needs of citizenship are profoundly affected by the distinctive particulars of the places in which they occur. This is an essential ingredient in any understanding of what is happening and of any program addressing the resulting citizenship challenges. Too often, citizenship education has been perceived simply as a matter for schools. In this book, the discussion is extended to embrace post-school education. It is acknowledged that the educa
Geography, environment, sustainability, culture and education standing alone or in any combination, provide the ingredients for a variety of stews. They are all difficult to define and they generate endless debates for theoreticians and practitioners about their meaning and significance. The editors have divided the chapters that follow into two parts in an effort to unit these diverse disciplines. Part 1 is concerned with cultural foundations and curriculum issues related to geographical and environmental education for sustainability. Part 2 comprises a series of chapters presenting education for sustainability in the contexts of national cultures.
This book results from the work of the Commission on Geographical Education of the International Geographical Union. Part 1 focuses on the distinctive traditions of school geography. Part 2 reviews the state of school geography on a broad continental basis, including national case studies by local experts. The final chapters extrapolate from the present and point to likely future developments in the subject, again with examples drawn from various countries.

Urban Claims and the Right to the City explores how contested processes of urban development, and the rights of city dwellers, are understood and interpreted from the perspective of women and men working, in different ways, at the grassroots in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, and London, UK. In doing so, it represents the grounded voices of authors whose work and lives mean that they engage, on a daily basis, with issues related to housing and spatial rights, and identity struggles around race, gender, disability, sexuality, citizenship and class. Reivindicações Urbanas e o Direito à Cidade investiga como os processos de desenvolvimento urbano em disputa e os direitos de moradores das cidades são compreendidos e interpretados por mulheres e homens que trabalham, de maneiras diferentes, nas bases populares de Salvador da Bahia, no Brasil, e de Londres, no Reino Unido. Ao fazê-lo, o livro representa vozes situadas de autores cujos trabalhos e vidas estão cotidianamente engajados em questões relacionadas aos direitos à moradia e ao espaço, e em lutas pautadas por identidades de raça, gênero, deficiência, sexualidade, cidadania e classe social.
1 de agosto de 2030, o Dia das Bombas. O dia em que centenas de mísseis foram lançados de todas as potências nucleares e arrasaram milhares de cidades. 2080, cinquenta anos depois. Quase metade da Terra ainda está inabitável. O que eram os Estados Unidos, o Canadá, o Reino Unido, a Rússia, a China, o Japão e a maior parte da Ásia se tornaram desertos radioativos. Nos demais territórios, os sobreviventes lutam contra o inverno nuclear, o verão nuclear, a fome, a escassez generalizada e a radiação. O mundo está dividido em quatro grandes grupos: a Comunidade Europeia, a Federação Eslava, a Federação Socialista e o Califado, potências com relações diplomáticas frágeis e d...
“Circularidades Políticas e Culturais” é o eixo temático que congregou um grupo de pesquisa estruturado internacionalmente. Criado no ano de 2010, esse grupo promove reuniões anuais alternadas entre Brasil e Itália, com o intuito de ampliar e renovar a sua interlocução, tendo sempre como horizonte o campo das circularidades. A escolha dessa perspectiva de investigação nasceu da vontade dos integrantes do projeto em estudar o impacto da cultura italiana no repertório artístico e intelectual da sociedade brasileira. Neste livro, que agora está disponível nas estantes virtuais, o leitor poderá tomar contato com uma parte significativa dos resultados obtidos.
