In the spirit of Ivan Illich’s 1968 speech ‘To hell with good intentions’, the book takes aim at a ubiquitous form of contemporary ideology, namely the concept of global citizenship. Its characteristic discourse can be found inhabiting a nexus of four complexes of ‘ruling’ institutions, namely universities with their international service learning, the United Nations and allied international institutions bent on global citizenship education, international non-governmental organizations and foundations promoting social entrepreneurship, and global corporations and their mouthpieces pitching corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. The question is: in the context of Northern or Western imperialism and US-led, neoliberal, global, corporate capitalism, and the planetary Armageddon they are wringing, what is the concept of global citizenship doing for these institutions? The studies in the book put this question to each of these four institutional complexes from broadly political-economic and post-colonial premises, focusing on the concept’s discursive use, against the background of the mounting production of the global non-citizen as the global citizen’s ‘other’. Addressed to all users of the concept of global citizen(ship) from university students and faculty in global studies to social entrepreneurs and United Nations bureaucrats, the book’s studies ultimately ask whether the idea helps or hinders the global quest for social and economic justice.

The Global Citizen is an independent student-run organization whose primary purpose is to provide one of the few venues in the world through which the world's young scholars can publish exemplary work pertaining to contentious issues in international affairs. The Citizen is headquartered at Miami University of Ohio, where it is led by a student staff that makes all administrative and editorial decisions. With the advising of university faculty and professionals in the field, The Citizen seeks to publish a journal of academic scholarship to be shared with the global community. The Citizen is devoted to publishing particularly exceptional work submitted primarily by undergraduate students from all corners of the globe. The ultimate intent is to foster global citizenship among young scholars by encouraging a holistic view of world conflicts and an ever-broadening understanding of how different contexts produce different viewpoints. In addition to providing the international academic community with novel perspectives from the world's brightest young minds, The Citizen seeks to contribute to international scholarship and development in three ways. First, the Journal is designed to provide an alternative voice in the realm of research and academia and to serve as a useful research tool for academics and global scholars worldwide to broaden their opinion horizons and understandings of what the younger generation of leaders thinks. Second, the facilitation of the rigorous review process for the selection of exemplary pieces provides the student-led editing staff with an invaluable exercise to hone their editing skills. Third, The Global Citizen is on track to becoming an international company. Such an endeavor affords the staff with the unique opportunity to run an international enterprise at a young age, effectively developing their understanding of how to expand a business into emerging world markets, language competencies, management skills and awareness of world issues. As the world becomes more globalized each day, these are the requisite tools for future leaders to have.

The idea of global citizenship is that human beings are "citizens of the world." Whether or not we are global citizens is a topic of great dispute, however those who take part in the debate agree that a global citizen is a member of the wider community of humanity, the world, or a similar whole which is wider than that of a nation-state or other political community of which we are normally thought to be citizens. Through four main sections, the contributors to Global Citizenship discuss global challenges and attempt to define the ways in which globalization is changing the world in which we live. Offering a breadth of coverage to the core rheme of the individual in a global world, Global Citizenship combines two factors-the idea of global responsibility and the development of institutional structures through which this responsibility can be exercised.

It explores the evolving relationship between the social movements, citizenship, the education of citizens and the young peoples’ viewpoints, asking how citizenship has been conceptualised in a dramatic transformation age. How has the curriculum and pedagogy designed to fit the global changes for cultivating young generations with rights and responsibilities to interpret in and adapt for the competence of citizenship? And what outcomes and attainments had the Taiwan’s undergraduates’ knowledge, attitudes and practices of competency on citizenship?

Globalization means that no country can afford to ignore what goes on outside its borders. International exchanges are part of everyday life. As a result, international education has been growing at an astonishing rate over the last generation. In "Educating the Global Citizen", George Walker examines in-depth the basic concepts of international education: the apparent tension between human diversity and our common humanity; the importance of intercultural understanding; and, the search for a set of universal values to unite humankind.
