Description:

This book presents empirical comparative research findings regarding the educational effect on political and social tolerance across 24 and 33 countries at two time points. It argues there are several micro- and macro-level conditions that should be fulfilled for the positive effect of education to take place.

Synopsis:

This book examines to what extent the effect of education on political and social tolerance varies cross-nationally. It gives an inventory of micro- and macro- level factors moderating this effect. The empirical analysis is based on comparative surveys across 24 and 33 countries at two time points. Results indicate that the positive effect of education does not always overcome the negative effects of personality characteristics and low socio-economic status. Moreover, education contributes to more tolerant views only in countries with certain political, socio-economic and cultural background. Overall, the book argues that there are several micro- and macro-level conditions that should be fulfilled before one may proclaim education as the universal problem solver.
