Education and Community offers a fully international approach to using political philosophy and sociology to develop the promotion of communities, schools and society.Notions of 'community' are found in almost every educational context from primary schools to HE institutions. Given the polemic nature of promoting community in schools and society today, this fascinating book uses an interdisciplinary approach of political philosophy and sociology. The approach used develops theoretical principles for the promotion of communities, and subsequently applies them to the realities of schools and society. This book is fully international, drawing on examples and references from the UK, US and Canada.
