New article published in The Journal of Moral Education

JME cover

The article “Towards a post-democratic era?

“Educating in a convulsed political context demands a detailed analysis of the new circumstances of our times, especially the current democracy crisis. According to the latest reports issued by international evaluation organisations, one of the greatest challenges for democratic citizenship is the emergence and rise of authoritarianism within the framework of the so-called post-democracy, and also in the manifestations known as illiberal democracy. Moral and civic education has to respond to this challenge. With this in mind, we propose revitalising a participative and deliberative democracy model, rethinking the basic values in citizens’ education, redefining the relation between what is public and what is private, and empowering sensitivity and free creation in the new maker culture“.

The article is available, free of charge, in the Articles Section.
