The purpose of this thesis is to answer the questions, what role does the
education system have in citizenship development and do governments promote
specific norms and values through education that can be identified as developing the
ideal citizen? These questions bring together two different types of foci, one is on
education as a socialization tool, and the other is on the idea of citizenship. How can
these two elements be connected? The case will be made that education is an
institution supported by national governments to promote norms and values of
the ideal citizen through socialization. Other questions raised are based on this
process of socialization. How do we define socialization in the parameters of education?
How is education used as a tool for socialization? Then, how does socialization relate to
citizenship development?
The questions then were raised of whether or not these norms of the ideal citizen
could be extrapolated to understand terms like global citizen. Are there norms and
values that are present in both theories of national citizenship and global citizenship? If
so, what are they and do governments promote these norms and values with a global
mindset or awareness? This allows for connections to research about global awareness
and citizenship to see if these countries acknowledge the effects of globalization. By
looking at the theories centered on citizenship, I will pinpoint specific values that they
have in common.
The comparative case study will serve as an experiment to test whether or not
these types of questions can be answered. In the analysis of the case study, I raise
questions of where the US and Sweden advocate for an agenda of citizenship
development? If so how are they doing so and with what kind of terminology? If not,
where are their goals being set? How do these two countries compare? Are there more
similarities than differences? What does it mean to be a US citizen/Swedish citizen
