Abstract
This paper examines school and university curricula in Europe and investigates the extent to which they function to encourage or discourage xenophobia. It considers the pluralistic nature of the European population and examines the effects of other social and cultural institutions and processes in the reproduction of xenophobia. It focuses on the potential link between xenophobia and warfare. The paper concludes with an assessment of the role of curricular systems in the actual encouragement of warfare.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
