This open access book takes a critical and international perspective to the mainstreaming of the Global Citizenship Concept and analyses the key issues regarding global citizenship education across the world. In that respect, it addresses a pressing need to provide further conceptual input and to open global citizenship agendas to diversity and indigeneity. Social and political changes brought by globalisation, migration and technological advances of the 21st century have generated a rise in the popularity of the utopian and philosophical idea of global citizenship. In response to the challenges of today's globalised and interconnected world, such as inequality, human rights violations and poverty, global citizenship education has been invoked as a means of preparing youth for an inclusive and sustainable world. In recent years, the development of global citizenship education and the building of students' global citizenship competencies have become a focal point in global agendas for education, international educational assessments and international organisations. However, the concept of global citizenship education still remains highly contested and subject to multiple interpretations, and its operationalisation in national educational policies proves to be challenging. This volume aims to contribute to the debate, question the relevancy of global citizenship education's policy objectives and to enhance understanding of local perspectives, ideologies, conceptions and issues related to citizenship education on a local, national and global level. To this end, the book provides a comprehensive and geographically based overview of the challenges citizenship education faces in a rapidly changing global world through the lens of diversity and inclusiveness. ;

Few philosophers in our tradition have raised structures of speculation more complex than those of Giambattista Vico. Nevertheless, in following the course of his speculation, from the earliest orations through the De Antiquissima Italorum Sapientia, the massive Diritto Universale, and, finally, the successive transformations of the Scienze Nuova, certain definite themes appear which engage his meditation at every stage and impart, as a consequence, unity and coherence, though never simplicity, to the whole. Basic among these is the theme of the civil education of man.

This paper argues that the jargon, or jabberwocky, prevalent in education from the universities on down, is the same kind of political lying found in government, and for the same purposes. Whether conscious or not, the aim is to enact power plays to preserve the existing bureaucratic structure and maintain leadership in the hands of those now in control. School, whose avowed purpose is to influence thinking and alter behavior into channels deemed appropriate by those in authority, is a political arena, and educational jabberwocky is its most effective tool.

В статье рассматриваются воздействие глобализации и демографического развития на систему образования в Европе и Украине. Миграция студентов в другие страны означает уменьшение часов для персонала, уменьшение бюджета и, как следствие снижения уровня и качества общего образования. Преподаватели, сотрудники и администрация академий и университетов борются друг с другом за часы вместо размышления о стратегическом маркетинге, новых образовательных проектах, новых идеях, новом медиа-развитии, чтобы привлечь отечественных и зарубежных студентов. Статистика показывает, перемещение студентов по всему миру. Студенты мигрируют в высокоразвитые страны из-за перспектив там после выпуска. Украина в сравнении с другими странами показывает те же тенденции. В качестве примера проведено исследование в Харьковской области. Старый способ мышления, что университеты правительственные учреждения с безопасными рабочими местами не отражают реальность. В настоящее время, университеты и академии подобны частным предприятиям, которые продают и предлагают продукт на рынке под названием "образование". Студенты в глобальном мире может выбрать страну, город или учреждение. Даже в онлайне в нет каких-либо границ вообще. ; The article discusses and shows the impact of globalization and demographic development on the educational system and level in Europe and Ukraine. Migration of students to other countries means decreasing hours for staff, decreasing budget and as a result a decreasing level and quality of education in common. Teachers, staff and administration of academies and universities are fighting with each other for their hours instead of thinking about strategic marketing, new educational projects, new ideas, new media and innovative development to attract domestic students as well as foreign ones. Statistics show overcoming students worldwide. Trend is demonstrating that students migrate in high-ranked countries because of perspectives there after graduation. Comparison Ukraine with other countries shows the same trends. As an example the study in Kharkov region is shown here. The old way of thinking that universities are governmental institutions with safe working places don't reflect the reality. Nowadays, universities and academies are like private enterprises which sell and offer a product on market named "education". Students in a global world can choose the country, city or institution. Even online is up to date without any borders at all.
