The essays in this volume were written by authors from the United States, South Africa, Germany, and Russia. They were developed as papers that were presented at a 1993 conference on Education for Democracy at Ohio State University, sponsored by the university`s Mershon Center, and have been rewritten and expanded for this volume. The authors` areas of expertise include civic education, the problems of minorities, the American Constitution, the transition to democracy in former communist coun¬tries, and education and democracy in South Africa and in Japan.
All of the authors concern themselves with aspects of the ideal of democracy: what it is, how it evolves, and the goals of democracy yet to be achieved in various settings. Each author implies that democracy has a concrete definition with a range of features.
