Before being declared heretical in 1713, Jansenism was a Catholic movement focused on such central issues as original sin and predestination. In this engaging book, David Selby explores how the Jansenist tradition shaped Alexis de Tocqueville's life and works and argues that once that connection is understood, we can apply Tocqueville's political thought in new and surprising ways. Moving from the historical sociology of Jansenism in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century France to contemporary debates over the human right to education, the role of religion in democracy, and the nature of political freedom, Selby brings Tocqueville out of the past and makes him relevant to the present, revealing that there is still much to learn from this great theorist of democracy.

Der Autor stellt ein Modell Globalen Lernens vor, das von vier Säulen getragen wird. Globale Erziehung im Sinne des Autors vollzieht sich nicht allein durch die Beschäftigung mit globalen ökologischen oder ökonomischen Problemen, sondern muss von einer grundlegenden Veränderung unseres (industriellen) reduktionistischen Blickwinkels und Bewusstseins - hin zu einem holistischen Selbstverständnis begleitet werden. (DIPF/Orig.)

Education for sustainable development, the educational offshoot of the concept of 'sustainable development', has rapidly become the predominant educational response to the global environmental crisis. The authors apply a critical lens to the field and find it wanting in many regards. Sustainability Frontiers is an international, academic non-governmental organization based in Canada and the United Kingdom. It engages in research and innovation in the broad fields of sustainability and global education challenging dominant assumptions and current orthodoxies as it seeks to foster learner empowerment and action. It places particular emphasis on climate change, disaster risk reduction and peacebuilding and their implications for the nature and directions of sustainability education.
