Education,Democracy and Poverty Reduction in Africa   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
This article explores the political relationship between education and poverty reduction. It argues that authoritarian rule in Africa has exacerbated levels of poverty and sets out six ways in which this has happened. However, the achievement of greater levels of democracy will not be possible unless political culture and civil society in Africa become more democratic but this will depend on the spread of more democratic values and behaviours. As democratic values and behaviours are socially learned and are not genetic, education must play a part in fostering greater democracy. The article then discusses three examples from Africa where education has not played a significant role in furthering democracy and provides some further examples of African countries where serious attempts are being made to try to change education systems in a more democratic direction.  相似文献

How can we understand the relationship between art, education and democracy in the contemporary Western political condition? The recent presidential elections in the USA showed that the classical model of liberal representative democracy is shaking on its foundations. The question is how can artists and education respond to this political condition? In this article it is argued that art has a special quality to address political, and especially democratic, issues. It can strengthen education in its lessons in democracy and citizenship. Art has a special quality to walk on an alternative path of democracy, namely that of the civil domain. In the civil sphere artistic qualities and skills of designing and of imagination can play a crucial role.  相似文献

政治哲学家查尔斯·泰勒认为,民主文化以多元方式存在,民主文化的多元性现状可以基于社会想象研究而得以澄清。在泰勒看来,特定时空中的社会想象赋予特定实践以意义,民主理论必须渗入并改变特定时空的社会想象才能产生作用,民主的路径依赖性使得每个民主社会都形成了其独特的把自己理解为一个民主国家的方式以及符合这种理解的实践。每个民主国家的成员对其想象的共同体都具有强势的政治认同,而任何认同都是由他人的承认构成的,因而,各民主国家相互承认与尊重彼此的民主文化就成为必然要求。  相似文献

协商民主作为一种民主范式在中国的政治建设和社会治理中起了重要作用。近些年来,协商民主在新农村基层民主建设中的实践,创新了我国的基层民主制度。随着农村村民民主参政意识和维权意识的提高,协商民主适应了我国新农村基层民主建设中政府与村民互动机制的要求,同时它也是解决农村治理中民主困境的途径。协商民主在新农村建设中的运用有利于保证乡村事务决策的公正性,有利于控制权力滥用、防止腐败,也有利于建立和谐的干群关系,促进农村经济社会的发展。  相似文献

社会民主党在纲领上都是以政治民主为核心,主张政治多元化,在他们看来,政治民主就是要消灭阶级差别,实现人权和政治权利的平等,建立充分民主的政府,这种政治民主的表现形式就是多党制和普选权,公开反对无产阶级专政并且抹杀民主的阶级性,主张和平进入社会主义等等,其实质是维护资产阶级民主,走改良主义的道路,因此,认清社会民主党的政治民主观、人权观、国家观及政党观具有一定的理论意义。  相似文献

政治体制改革的原则必须与时俱进。原有政治体制改革原则是政治体制改革新原则的前提和基础,政治体制改革新原则是对原有政治体制改革原则的继承与发展,是对原有政治体制改革的提升、提炼和升华。政治体制改革的新原则包括:民主原则,即政治体制改革的启动机制是民主互动的,博弈机制是民主双赢的,以民主文化为支撑的,民主的实质是给人的尊严与幸福提供保障;宪政原则,即把民主纳入宪政的轨道,公民才有良质,社会进步才有良序;完善根本制度原则,即人民代表大会制度有很大的拓展空间;遵守宪法原则,即政治体制改革必须在宪法和法律的范围内进行。  相似文献

政治发展的核心要素之一是民主,民主是现代国家所追求的目标。在民主化道路过程中,各个国家建构了不同的民主模式,这就意味着中国的民主化会带有自身特点。其中,纵向民主提供了一种探析中国民主发展的新视角,它以社会和谐与秩序为价值理念,以信任为连接纽带,以自上而下的政治领导和自下而上的公民参与为结构特征。通过对纵向民主理论的阐释,试图说明中国民主政治发展道路的特点与不足。  相似文献

According to the Conservative Party, the ‘age of egalitarianism is now over’. This article explores the development of egalitarianism in the United Kingdom in the last decade and the threat represented by the Education Reform Act 1988. It focuses on the political struggles over gender and ‘race’ equality in education since the significance of these struggles appears to have been neglected in current reassessments of social democracy. Teacher autonomy, child‐centred learning and freedom of curriculum choice, as defined by social democracy, have been challenged by campaigns for social equality. Yet calls for increased state intervention and more coercive strategies of reform were not conducive to a participatory democratic order. The analysis, therefore, demonstrates the tensions between equality and democracy as political goals within advanced capitalist societies, and suggests that not only liberal, but also the egalitarian approaches of the 1980s require critical re‐evaluation.  相似文献

In light of recent political developments in Western democracies, several political commentators and theorists have argued that encouraging anger in citizens may contribute to social justice and should therefore constitute an aim of civic education. In this article, Douglas Yacek investigates these claims in depth. In doing so, he expands on previous work on the political and educational significance of anger — particularly by critical and “agonistic” theorists of civic education — in two distinct ways. First, Yacek explores the psychological costs and benefits of cultivating student anger. Second, he examines the potential cultural effects of anger in Western democratic societies. While sympathetic to the defenses of anger that have been recently offered in political and educational theory, Yacek concludes that we should be cautious about embracing anger in civic education. In particular, he argues that anger involves serious psychological risk, may exacerbate the social problems that it sets out to solve, and can lead to a disposition of adversarial and politically counterproductive closed‐mindedness. In the closing sections, Yacek suggests that experiences he calls “civic epiphanies” are central to cultivating a politically beneficial form of open‐mindedness, and argues that such experiences should therefore be encouraged in civic education.  相似文献

邓小平民主政治思想博大精深,其中,对民主在社会主义建设总体中的作用与地位的界定是其核心,即没有民主就没有社会主义,就没有社会现代化。中国改革开放的20年,是邓小平民主思想形成发展的20年,邓小平领导的民主化放权始终是贯穿其中一根红线,政府机构改革是这根红线合乎逻辑的延伸与涵化,邓小平民主思想及其指导下的民主实践有3个基本特征:发展民主与保持稳定的统一,形式民主与实质民主的统一,民主建设与法制建设的统一,这3个“统一”对我国现在及今后的政治体制改革,民主政治建设有着特别得要的指导意义,我们必须坚持而不能背离。  相似文献

Editorial     
This paper explores the issue of democracy and the role of the democratic classroom in the development of society in general, and the way in which educators understand and deal with diversity in particular. The first part of the paper explores different meanings of democracy and how they can be manifested in the classroom. We argue that the idea of a ‘democratic classroom’ is far too broad a category; democracy is defined in action and can have realist or pragmatic characteristics, elitist or pluralist roots. The realist form of social education was championed by political scientist Charles Merriam, while a social educative process more dependent on pragmatic problem solving was pursued by educational philosopher John Dewey and those who followed in his theoretical wake. The history of democracy in the United States, and the battles of how to import different meanings of democracy into the classroom over the course of the 20th century is explored, suggesting that the educational establishment has a tendency to adopt more realist/elitist forms of civic education. We present five ‘democratic’ classrooms with different characteristics to illustrate the different characteristics social education can exhibit. In the second part of the paper we discuss the relationship between different types of democratic classrooms and issues of race/ethnicity/culture.  相似文献

This article reflects on emergent (radical-progressive) languages of democracy to consider what common educational institutions might mean today. It explores distinct philosophical and political tensions that cut across these languages in relation to educational organization and pedagogy including – antagonism versus exodus, transcendence versus immanence, pluralism versus multiplicity, democracy versus communism. In contrast to other theorists in education who have tended to privilege certain conceptual positions in these debates to address a wide range of educational issues, the author argues that these tensions should be read selectively and generatively for linking political questions concerning democracy to educational transformation. In conclusion, the article calls for a language of insurrectional democracy that integrates aspects of each approach and where strategic engagements with, and creative lines of flight out of, public institutions and the State play a role in reimagining a common education for a democratic society to come.  相似文献
