External Democracy promotion through Education: Approaches in International development cooperation and foreign policies in the field of education.

There have been numerous efforts to systematise methods of external democracy promotion (EDP). It is widely agreed that (civic) education is a particularly effective means of fostering pro-democratic attitudes and behaviour based on cooperation and local ownership, and is therefore often seen as a particularly effective instrument of EDP as opposed to more coercive means. Nonetheless, the precise theoretical role and practical use and implementation of (civic) education for EDP remains unclear in many respects. Therefore, my doctoral research aims to address this gap through several case studies that focus on various German development actors in Tanzania.
