Editorial Reviews: This book examines the approach to civic education in six societies located on the Pacific Rim: Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and the US. In these scrupulously designed studies, the contributors investigate the recent re-emergence of civic education in this region. These essays reveal how definitions of citizenship are contested and revised under such influences as globalization, nationalism and sovereignty.
