Summary:

This book presents an inter-disciplinary and mixed-method analysis of the role that education has played in the European citizenship project from 1949 to the present day. Using a wide range of sources, both historical and contemporary, qualitative and quantitative, the book explores key questions such as: What is European citizenship and how have European institutions sought to transmit this idea through education? How have nation-states responded to these efforts? And what impact has European citizenship had no young people's citizenship attitudes? In answering these questions, this book shows that the relationship between the nation-state, citizenship and education is evolving, but that citizens' attitudes continue to influenced by their schooling experiences in different member states.
