本文认为,英国学校于 2002 年引入公民课程,主要是因为新工党内外的一系列关键人物对英国社会资本水平下降的担忧。文章的结构如下:首先,将公民教育置于1997年工党大选之前的历史背景中,同时强调了工党内部关于政治参与和政治参与的争论的历史维度。 民主。然后概述了社会资本对政党的重要性,并解释了这个概念如何成为各种参与者的关键激励因素, 构成一个理念政策网络,参与公民教育政策的制定。结论是该倡议的有效性 新工党不愿挑战根深蒂固的不平等现象,从而削弱了社会包容性,从而阻碍了社会资本的发展。
This article argues that citizenship lessons were introduced in schools in England in 2002 principally because of concerns amongst a range of key figures in and beyond New Labour about perceived declining levels of social capital in Britain. The article is structured as follows: first, it places citizenship education in its historical context prior to the election of Labour in 1997, also emphasising the historical dimension to debates inside the Labour Party about political participation and democracy. It then outlines the importance of social capital for the party and explains how the concept was a crucial motivational factor for a variety of actors, constituting an ideational policy network, involved in the development of the citizenship education policy. It concludes that the effectiveness of the initiative is weakened by New Labour’s reluctance to challenge the entrenched inequalities that undermine the promotion of social inclusion and thus prevent the development of social capital.
