It aims to portray citizenship issues affecting the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and describe the manner by which citizenship education reflects and addresses these issues. Case studies on the EU and ASEAN make up its two parts which analyse the consequences of regionalism and citizenship education within these territories.
