Abstract

Seeing citizenship education as discourse, this Special Issue ‘Deciphering Citizenship Education in Asian Contexts: Discourse, Practice and Politics’ explores the discursive construction of internationally recognizable citizenship education rhetorics in different Asian contexts. The topics of the openly solicited articles suggest that in the call to examine citizenship education rhetoric and discourse in Asia, national citizenship remains a main concern, while participatory or active citizenship draws increased attention. While only presenting a few cases, the Special Issue raises the need to scratch beneath the rhetorical surface and examine citizenship education as a discourse that bears out societal power relations and politics and has consequences for practical teaching and learning in diverse Asian societies.
