市民性教育における多文化主義の役割 : スカンジナビアの視点

In this paper, I propose to link two separate educational fields. In so doing, I argue that these fields are more than linked, they are closely intertwined. The aim of this discussion is to bring together these concepts and to investigate some of the practical implications of such an endeavor. This is done with a firm conviction that such an exercise will contribute to an expansion of our understanding of democracy, including an appreciation of diversity as something else than an anomaly, rather a state of normalcy in a democracy. First, I will provide a brief introduction as to how multicultural education and democratic education respectively can be understood. Then I move on to investigate where and how they actually overlap through discussing four dimensions: 1） Developing of citizens; 2） Our perspectives on justice; 3） Living together; and, 4） a relatively compact and brief discussion of cosmopolitanism, and then I will wrap up.
