description Although a lot of stock-taking research on citizenship education in European countries has already be done, some key features of citizenship education especially in transformation countries are not understood as yet. The authors briefly outline the state of the art and criticize its main shortcomings.

They propose to realise multilevel and multiactor case studies which perceive citizenship education as an organisational issue, too.
