- Description
- In this chapter we examine the problem of classroom discipline through a political science lens. For us, this means that we are looking at international relations theory, and how specific world views are presented using those theories. This is important because international relations theories compete for particular views of the world, often marshalling the same facts to prove quite different things. Political economy looks fundamentally different to a realist, a liberal institutionalist, a world-systems theorist, and so on. Our central point is one in which we look at the difficulty of bringing together what is considered as 'universal' and what is considered as 'particular' in the way in which we view the world. Global citizens cannot be global if their values are determined by particular cultural considerations, and yet global concerns can arise from, and frequently be invoked by, particular cultural manifestations. Since classroom discipline hinges on our understanding of the world, we begin with some competing views of the world and postulate how this might affect ideas about classroom discipline.
