This chapter critiques dominant discourses and debates pertaining to values education, cultural identity, and teaching democracy. It addresses current discourses values education and teaching democracy in schools. It explores the ambivalent and problematic connections between the state, globalisation, values education and teaching democracy. The chapter also explores conceptual frameworks and methodological approaches applicable to research on values education, multiculturalism, and identity. Drawing on diverse paradigms, ranging from critical theory to globalisation, the chapter, by focusing on globalisation, ideology and values education, critically examines recent research dealing with cultural diversity and its impact of values education and teaching democracy.
