Popular education, a distinctive Swedish tradition of lifelong learning, has always concerned itself with the relationship between learning, power and democracy in society rather than having a purely individualistic and instrumental approach to learning for employability, which has dominated policy and practice. Through the themes of power and democracy this book examines popular education's contribution to enhancing people's lives in communities, reflecting on wider significance, and explores its impact on the political culture of the state and the cultural politics of society within and outside Sweden, including the USA, Japan, Canada and Tanzania.
