This paper reviews research, policy, and practice regarding education for democratic citizenship (EDC) in England from 1995 to 2005. It highlights significant developments in citizenship education following the 1998 Crick Report, contextualizes citizenship education within broader political reforms, and discusses the impact of current events on national identity and belonging. The synthesis aims to inform researchers, educators, and policymakers about the evolving discourse on EDC while suggesting future research directions to enhance the effectiveness of citizenship education.
