ABSTRACT

This conceptual paper examines the development of global citizenship education (GCE) by looking at economic regionalism’s political economy. First, this paper situates the Caribbean Community’s (CARICOM) citizenship education initiatives within the larger scope of global citizenship. Using a historical policy analysis, this article then explores the nexus between economic integration and the construction of citizenship by analysing CARICOM’s Human Resource Development (HRD) 2030 Strategy. In examining the HRD 2030 Strategy, it can be seen how the influence of both regional and global needs is being integrated into an initiative to standardise citizenship for an economically competitive Caribbean. Through the lens of neofunctionalism and intergovernmentalism, we reveal how the Ideal Caribbean Person initiative is a concept of regional citizenship created by regional economic policies and structural institutions. We conclude by arguing that the construction of global citizenship education at the regional level is, therefore, the consolidation of regional norms and their translation into a global context.

摘要

这篇概念性论文通过考察经济区域主义的政治经济学来考察全球公民教育 (GCE) 的发展。首先，本文将加勒比共同体 (CARICOM) 的公民教育举措置于更大的全球公民范围内。然后，本文使用历史政策分析，通过分析加共体的 2030 年人力资源开发 (HRD) 战略，探讨经济一体化与公民建设之间的关系。在审查 HRD 2030 战略时，可以看到如何将区域和全球需求的影响整合到一项举措中，以标准化具有经济竞争力的加勒比地区的公民身份。通过新功能主义和政府间主义的视角，我们揭示了理想加勒比人倡议如何成为由区域经济政策和结构性机构创建的区域公民概念。最后，我们认为，区域层面的全球公民教育建设是区域规范的整合，并将其转化为全球背景。
