(SangSaeng no. 51 Winter 2018) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: APCEIU The 51th issue of SangSaeng, under the theme of “How Can GCED Promote Gender Equality?,” explores the role of GCED to bolster gender equality.

Human Rights: Back to the Future (The UNESCO Courier no. 4, October-December 2018) Year of publication: 2018 Corporate author: UNESCO Benedetto Croce, Aldous Huxley, Humayun Kabir, Harold J. Laski, Lo Chung-Shu, Salvador de Madariaga, Jacques Maritain, F.S.C. Northrop, Arnold Schoenberg, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin – these are some of the contributors to this issue of the Courier. To mark the seventieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, adopted on 10 December 1948, we decided to take a detour into the past to enable us to better orient ourselves in the future. This explains the title of this issue: “Back to the Future”. Travelling back to 1946, when the world was grappling with the aftermath of the Second World War, “what kind of moral statement could the international community make that would adequately express its collective outrage and hope, however utopian, for a better future?” Mark Goodale discusses this massive international effort in his introductory article for our Wide Angle section, which he also guest-edited. The series of articles in this section uncovers a hitherto little-known part of the history of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights – the inquiry into the origins and philosophic bases of human rights. This initiative was decided upon during the first UNESCO General Conference (November-December 1946) and launched the following year by the Organization’s first Director-General, Julian Huxley. It was coordinated by the young French philosopher, Jacques Havet. For this project, UNESCO brought together leading intellectual figures of the post-war world, thus making an essential contribution to the reflection on human rights at the time. It remains amazingly relevant today. Equally relevant today are the drawings of Our Guest, the Peruvian artist Fernando Bryce, who derives his inspiration from this historic period “when the idea of progress was genuinely linked to a whole new perspective”. His series, The Book of Needs – which takes pages of the Courier between 1948 and 1954 and transforms them into works of art – is featured as a supplement in this issue. 
International Environmental Politics and Critical Approach to Global Citizenship Education Year of publication: 2017 Author: Zheng Fuxing The research and practice of global citizenship education have thrived since 1990s, but the effectiveness of global citizenship education is limited. The research cannot avoid the problematic premise of the possibility of global citizenship education. The identity predicament of global citizen and alienation of local implementing make probability of the global citizenship education problematic. The practial predicament of the global citizenship education maninfest5s that the nation state is the key factor of policy implementation. Environmental question, which is about global common good, attracts the attention from the government of most of nations, and becomes the good case for exploring the feasibility of global citizenship education. Environmental politics explain the inequality and injustice in the globally enviromental governance which made the global citizenship education critical. The critical ecopedagogy becomes the new form of global citizenship. The practice of the global citizenship education becomes viable by hybrid activism generated by dialectical movement between local and global in the limit of nation-state. 
A Review of Neo-liberal Global Citizenship Education in Western Societies Year of publication: 2016 Author: Zhou Xiaoyong Global citizenship education has become an increasingly dominant discourse among western societies. However, practices of global citizenship education assume plural forms, among which neo-liberal global citizenship education is an important one. Neo-liberalism competitiveness emphasizes personal choice based on cometition and access to global competitiveness and global cultural capital guided by competence.

For people in developing countries, this is an obviously unfair situation.
