“Aril Keating’s Education for Citizenship in Europeis a very well-organised book, concisely written yet with detailed analysis.While on one level a specialist read, it is sufficiently rooted in contemporarydebates about citizenship to appeal to a wider audience. The book is primarilyfocused on European policies to promote citizenship education but as becomesclear these are at times difficult to disentangle from national contexts.” (ChrisGifford, Citizenship Studies, December, 2015)"A close reading of Keating's text provides more detailed discussion than space affords in this review, but for all educators with an interest in CE in Europe, this scholarly work will be an important resource." - Research in International & Comparative Education
