"Higher Education is a steward of socialization, a facilitator of social mobility,
and a provocateur eliciting individuals' and societies' unrealized potential. Graduates
of the Academy will become the next generation of those tasked with building, strengthening
and maintaining the institutions and ideals underpinning current and aspiring democratic
societies. But as globalization continues to blur individual, institutional and national
boundaries, there are calls from and to multiple sectors to articulate productive
methods for achieving the ideals of democracy and social cohesion. This text is intended
to contemplate the conceptual frameworks and policy imperatives facing post-secondary/tertiary
sector educational institutions in preparing citizens for meaningful participation
in democracies, whether long-standing, young or emerging. The diverse international
contributors discuss perspectives on how post-secondary/tertiary sector institutions
are implicated in, but not necessarily leading these efforts." (4ème de couv.)
