Choo | Thippapan Chuosavasdi | Aigul Kulnazarova | Mousumi Mukherjee | Tania Saeed | Tanya Wendt Samu | Kyujoo Seol Corporate author: APCEIU Rethinking Global Citizenship Education from Asia-Pacific Perspectives aims to rethink and reinterpret global citizenship and GCED in light of the cultural and historical contexts and political and economic conditions of the Asia-Pacific region.

Each chapter brings to light the complexities involved in fostering global citizenship in an era defined by both growing interconnectedness and intensifying political, social, and economic divides.This book is structured into three parts. The first part examines how various philosophical traditions from the Asia-Pacific region, such as Confucian cosmopolitanism, Tagoreโs mindset, Pacific indigenous wisdom, and the Tianxia system, can inform and enrich the concept of GCED. The second part delves into the foundational ideas of global citizenship embedded within Asian religious and spiritual traditions, including Buddhist and Sufi perspectives. The third part provides case studies from Central and East Asia, highlighting the practical application of GCED in local contexts such as Kazakhstan, China, Japan, and South Korea. Together, these chapters offer a comprehensive analysis of the evolving challenges, opportunities, and innovations within GCED from Asia-Pacific viewpoints, emphasising the need for education systems to adapt and respond to the multifaceted nature of global citizenship.
