| Summary |
This book contains papers on the theme of Education, Democracy and Development. The close inter-relationships between these three concepts, and the tensions as well as synergies which exist between them, have certainly been explored many times in the past. However this does not make reconsideration any the less important, particularly in the current context. Indeed, with the break-up of the Soviet bloc, both existing countries released from their yokes and new countries carved out of the collapse of the Soviet Union find themselves in positions in which fundamental questions about inter-relationships between Education, Democracy and Development are, once again, of the utmost importance. Their intense interest in the theme has been infectious in Western countries where scholars and politicians have been reminded of their importance in rapidly changing circumstances |
