Tóm tắt
From a historical point of view, the university as an institution has had the role of educating an elite, rather than any obvious task of enforcing democracy. But what kind of expectations regarding citizenship and democracy can we justifiably have when it comes to the role of higher education and our universities today when higher education is undergoing a process of massification. Could the university eventually become a place for deliberative communication, developing deliberative qualities among its many students? According to the contributions presented here - stemming from a conference on the theme "Higher education, democracy and citizenship", held at Örebro university, Sweden 2000 - the answer is yes, to some extent, if there is room for pluralism in different dimensions, opportunities to challenge one's own tradition, and tolerance and respect for the concrete other. © 2002 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
