Looks at the present norms and practices of a new form of democratic
education and children's democratic participation, utilizing both
theoretical and empirical examination of children's deliberative
agency. How children participate in democracy has shifted toward more
communicative, networked, and creative models than before. In
political science and political theory, however, surprisingly little
is understood about what if anything children can contribute to
democracy and how they would do so. Traditionally, children have been
considered as mere future citizens who are acknowledged only when they
behave in accordance with adults' expectations. In this sense,
children are one of the last frontiers of democratic inclusion, as
they have long been seen and not heard. Children, Democracy, and
Education critically examines and proposes how to counteract such a
traditional view on children and retheorizes their position and role
within contemporary democracy. Utilizing the empirically grounded
concept of deliberative democratic learning, Kei Nishiyama then argues
how we enable children's communicative participation and development
in classrooms, schools, and social movements to expand the inclusive
quality of democracy.
