Book Changing Structures of Political Power  Socialization and Political Education

This book was released on 1988 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reader incorporates diverse essays by internationally renowned social scientists. It aims at questioning whether and to what extent national and international changes in the structure of political power and control exert an effect on the prerequisites and circumstances for and consequences of political learning in everyday society or specifically in state-orientated facilities. The variety of perspectives comprises theoretical, methodical observations, national or regional individual analyses bearing general significance for international comparison, as well as empirical studies of specific problem fields. An introduction and deeper immersion is offered by the texts into (worldwide) tendencies pertaining to developments within political systems, in general, and changes undergoing in political socialization and political education, in particular.

Book Political Socialisation  Participation  and Education

Download or read book Political Socialisation Participation and Education written by Heinz Sünker and published by Peter Lang Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the catastrophic history of the `short 20th century' (Hobsbawm), the crucial question facing the new millennium - all over the world - is that of the future social as well as political development. At the centre of our engagement with this question should lie reflections on participatory forms of democratisation in as many societies around the globe as possible, so as to make globalisation more than simply an economic theme. Such reflections - as the contributions in this book show - from this perspective would also examine the possible ways in which relations might be constituted within political socialisation, participation and education. These concepts are in turn to be explored in the substantive discussions of `democracy' and `democratisation' in relation to individuals as well as political systems. If educational policy is social policy, if a democratic society demands citizens who are educated and thus capable of political action, the themes `Political Education' and `Political Socialisation' need to be addressed anew, and this is equally important for a rethinking of the future of the `political' more generally. The contributions to the book contribute to a challenging debate.

Book Political Socialization in Hungary

Download or read book Political Socialization in Hungary written by Ildikó Szabó and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1989 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The particularities of political socialization in Hungary are intimately linked to the many changes that the country has experienced in the twentieth century; changes that have prevented socialization models crystallizing into social practices. In the past four decades there were two epochs. The epoch of the direct political socialization began at the end of the forties. It was based on the negation of social and political conflicts. The political practice in this epoch was to define the socialization from «above», to eliminate the mediation between individuals and politics, to liquidate the alternatives for ways of behaving. The epoch that followed the events of 1956 can be called the epoch of conflict-avoiding political socialization. Those in power acknowledged the possibility of conflicts, but still it was impossible to learn how to handle them, how to reconcile the interests, how to make compromises, and the reason for this was that the political socialization's system, institutions and their functioning principles remained unchanged by nature.

Book Integrating Political Science  Education  and Public Policy

Download or read book Integrating Political Science Education and Public Policy written by Russell Francis Farnen and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1990 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of ideas of the past, present and future interrelationships among political science, education, socialization and public policy analysis, using both American and international perspectives and research findings. In addition to a thorough discussion of political socialization findings in a cross-national context, this book also uses a taxonomic approach in conceptualizing U.S. civic education during the 1960s and 1970s, with an update on the state of U.S. citizenship education in the 1980s. What is proposed here is a practical new model for organizing our political education curricula; one which is analytical, allows for a dynamic synthesis and stresses the importance of active decision-making and policy analysis as key elements in participatory democracy and citizenship education. Concluding recommendations, comments, interpretations and challenges to political educators and researchers complete this unique theoretical and empirical approach to political education.

Book Cultivating Democracy

Download or read book Cultivating Democracy written by James G. Gimpel and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2003-10-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars across several social science disciplines have indicated that the behavior described by the term "civic engagement" is girded by a set of attitudes that show knowledge about, and positive evaluations of, government and politics. Drawing on extensive interviews with high school students from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds, Cultivating Democracy examines the sources of those attitudes, including individual characteristics, and the qualities of local environments that shape the experiences of late adolescence. The authors gathered data on adolescent attitudes by interviewing students in a wide variety of locations, from Baltimore's inner city and suburbs to the most affluent communities in Montgomery County, Maryland. Focusing initially on attitudes toward ethnic diversity and immigration, the authors expanded their focus to the political socialization of young people, including patriotism and political knowledge and participation. The authors demonstrate how political socialization is shaped through the social messages presented to citizens by others. According to Gimpel, Lay, and Schuknecht, while formal education as a means of socializing youth is critically important, other useful means for communicating positive socializing messages, through political parties, elections, and the media, have been ignored. They recommend compensatory strategies to promote civic engagement among those who are at risk to be nonparticipants.

Book Political Socialization

Download or read book Political Socialization written by Edward Greenberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the forces underlying headlines, this volume examines the processes and outcomes of political socialization-the ways in which an individual acquires the attitudes, beliefs, and values of the political culture from the surrounding environment, and takes on a role as citizen within that political framework.Political Socialization vividly points out the contradiction currently existing between the optimism found in the traditional literature of this field and the reality of dramatic present-day incidents. This book offers a selection of papers that advance the recognized approach and set forth the new thinking on the subject. It provides a survey of both sides of this thought-provoking debate and, as such, remains as valid today as when it was first published in 1970.An incisive introduction by the editor defines and outlines the issues and problems involved, and places the various contributions in perspective. Greenberg voices the belief that "a significant number of the young and highly educated are beginning to bring into question the legitimacy of political, social, and economic arrangements" and that the Vietnam War and the civil rights movement were socializing events, playing as powerful a role as did the Depression for the parents of the younger generation. The debate format will provide the reader with a variety of commentary and lead them to form their own judgment on these major historical intellectual disputes.
