This books explores the relationships between learning, democratic citizenship and the public sphere from thee interconnected angles: theory, methodology and research.

Through a combination of theoretical development, methodological reflection and empirical case study, the chapters in the book provide new insights in the complexities of learning in the context of the ongoing struggle for democracy.
