In our previous volumes, the conceptual differences between the East and the West were further explored in terms of language. In many Asia-Pacific countries, there is no clear-cut distinction between civic and citizenship education, and many Asia-Pacific countries equate moral education with civic/citizenship education. Thus, it is quite common for Asia-Pacific countries to describe civic/citizenship education as ‘civic and moral education’ or ‘moral and civic education’. Further, the term ‘civic’ can be employed by the government to mean loyal citizens and by the civilians to mean critical citizens or even civil disobedience (Otsu,2008).
