Hong Kong's distinct system, as a Special Administrative Region within the People's Republic of China, makes it an interesting case when examining the notion of citizenship, and how it shapes and is shaped by the education system. This article examines the existing literature at this important point in the territory's development. This review contains important lessons not only for the study of citizenship in Hong Kong, but also for how regional identity and citizenship can be shaped by the historical, social, and political forces. Finally, this article will present some of the gaps, which have been identified by scholars in the field.

The Palgrave Handbook of Citizenship and Education provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the current field of citizenship and education. It draws on insights from a range of disciplines to explore historical, philosophical, theological, sociological and psychological ideas on how the two concepts intersect and is international in scope, authorship and readership. Five sections provide a clear outline of: - Foundational thinkers on, and the theories of, citizenship and education; - Citizenship and education in national and localised contexts; - Citizenship and education in transnational contexts; - Youth, advocacy, citizenship and education; - Contemporary insights on citizenship and education. An essential resource for scholars interested in how theorizations of citizenship, civic identity and participatory democracy are, and could be, operationalized within educational theories, educational debates, educational curricular, and pedagogic practices.

This article recounts the unusual history of a national idea in late colonial Singapore from the 1930s to the early 1950s before Singapore's attainment of partial self-government in 1955. Using two different concepts, namely 'colonial nationalism' and 'imperial citizenship', it offers a genealogy of nationalism in Singapore, one that calls into question the applicability of prevailing theories of anti-colonial nationalism to the Singapore-in-Malaya context. Focusing on colonial nationalism, the article provides a historical account of English-mediated official multiculturalism through tracking shifting British colonial priorities, ideologies of governance and challenges to its authority in Singapore. This account is rarely appreciated in Singapore today given official scripting of national history that abets particular amnesias with regards to its multicultural nationhood.

Dear Professor Ambrosewicz-Jacobs, you are an icon for education about the Holocaust in Poland, you are very well regarded abroad and well known for that reason.

First question: Would you say that there are challenges in the preservation of memory about the Holocaust and challenges for the preservation of historic objectivity?

En los últimos años del siglo XX ha empezado a revitalizarse la ética de las virtudes al hilo de dos teorías ético-políticas que se proponen como alternativa al liberalismo dominante: el comunitarismo y el republicanismo. Las virtudes democráticas o cívico-políticas responden a la demanda y al compromiso de los ciudadanos por establecer un espacio público, ligado a la defensa del bien común, como constitutivo de la libertad de todos. Entre estas virtudes democráticas destacamos la de ser capaz de participar de forma reflexiva, crítica y dialogante. La participación es una de esas virtudes esenciales para la convivencia y buen hacer de sociedades multiculturales y pluralistas como son las actuales. A ella dedicamos nuestro trabajo, comenzando por dilucidar qué sentido ha de adquirir en nuestros días para responder a los retos del presente, y, más tarde, proponiendo algunas pautas acerca de cómo debería plantearse la formación en esta virtud, considerándola imprescindible para una auténtica educación emancipadora del individuo ; Over the past few years, the language of «civic virtues» has been recovered following the impulse of two political theories: communitarism and republicanism. Both of them have been proposed as an alternative to dominant liberalism. Civic virtues respond to the aspirations and the commitment of citizens wishing to establish a public space in which people defend the common good. Amongst these democratic virtues, we emphasize the ability to participate in a reflective, critic and dialogic way. Participation is an essential virtue for harmony and well-being in current multicultural and pluralistic societies. In this paper, we analyse how the concept of participation should be interpreted in order to respond to current challenges. Then, we propose some guidelines about training this virtue, so necessary for a democratic education ; Pendant les dernières années du XXème siècle l'éthique des vertus a pris de l'importance grâce à deux théories éthiques et politiques: le communautarisme et le republicanisme. Toutes les deux sont proposées comme une alternative au libéralisme dominant. Les vertus democratiques répondent à la demande et à l'engagement de la citoyenneté d'établir un espace public, lié á la défense de l'intérêt public. Parmi les virtues démocratiques, nous soulignons la capacité de participer d'une façon reflexive, critique et en employant le dialogue. La participation est une vertu essentielle pour la vie en commun et le bien-être de sociétés multiculturelles et pluralistes comme les actuelles. Dans cet article, nous analysons quel sens doit acquérir la participation pour répondre aux défis contemporains. Nous proposons après quelques conseils pour former dans cette vertu, compte tenu qu'elle est indispensable pour une éducation émancipatrice
