Democratic citizenship in the UK exhibits problems of disengagement with politics

英国的民主公民表现出脱离政治的问题，2001年以来的投票率较低就证明了这一点。此外，最近对2017年大选中的“青年地震”的怀疑，支持了年轻公民继续以低于老年人的水平参与的证据。2002年在学校引入公民教育旨在帮助弥补这种“代沟”。我的论文将提出一种批判，即由于对政治本质（斗争主义）的理论误解，政治公民权的关注过于狭隘。因此，从本质上讲，我的研究项目是一项调查，探讨我们如何通过发展适度的、四下作战的公民教育议程，来提高“民众”的“政治素养”。通过对英国公民教育文件语料库的批判性话语分析，然后通过我自己的访谈和焦点小组对分析进行“三角测量”，对批评进行调查

Democratic citizenship in the UK exhibits problems of disengagement with politics, as evidenced by lower levels of electoral turnout since 2001. Moreover, recent scepticism regarding the 'youthquake' in the 2017 general election, supports the evidence that younger citizens continue to participate at lower levels than older cohorts. The introduction of citizenship education to schools in 2002 was intended to help remedy this 'generation gap'. My thesis will be to develop a critique that political citizenship has been too narrowly focused due to a theoretical misapprehension of the essential nature of politics (agonism). My research project is therefore, at heart, an investigation into how we might increase the 'political literacy' of a 'demos' by developing the modest, and embattled, agenda of citizenship education. The critique will be investigated by means of a critical discourse analysis of the corpus of citizenship education documents in the UK, then 'triangulating' the analysis with my own interviews and focus groups
