Education, Globalization, and the State in the Age of Terrorism
Peters, Michael A.
Paradigm Publishers
Education plays an important role in challenging, combating and in understanding terrorism in its different forms, whether as counter-terrorism or as a form of human rights education. Just as education has played a significant role in the process of nation-building, so education also plays a strong role in the process of empire, globalization and resistance to global forces--and in terrorism, especially where it is linked to emergent statehood. This book focuses on the theme of education in an age of terrorism, exploring the conflicts of globalization and global citizenship, feminism post-9/11, youth identities, citizenship and democracy in a culture of permanent war, and the relation between education and war, with a focus on the war against Iraq. This book is organized into the following chapters: (1) The Conflicts of Globalization and Restructuring of Education?; (2) Global Citizenship and the New American World Order; (3) Globalization, Family Terrorism and Feminism Post-9/11; (4) Constructing Youth Identities: Citizenship Education, ICT, and Anti-war Protests; (5) Globalization, the Third Way and Education Post 9/11: Building Democratic Citizenship; (6) Terrorism and the Culture of Permanent War: Democracy Under Siege; (7) Education and War: Primary Constituents of the Contemporary World System; and (8) War as Globalization: The "Education" of the Iraqi People.
