Presented in a stimulating, full-colour magazine format, these fully updated resources provide the complete package for Citizenship education at 14+.

This new edition includes sections on the impact of devolution and tackling voter apathy. Media Matters is an entirely new title in the series, ideal for GCSE Short Course or post-16 work. It is designed to help students analyse the media's influence and power in society, and the role it plays in a democracy. Human Rights encourages students to engage with issues ranging from political and economic injustice to the rights of children. The new edition includes coverage of the UK Human Rights Act and examines the balance between rights and responsibilities.
Global Concerns adds a crucial global dimension to the series, helping to prepare students for life in an increasingly globalised society. Updated to cover the impact of events following 11 September 2001 with new sections on terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. An expanded and revised Teacher's Resources features cross-referencing to the Key Stage 4 Programme of Study and Short Course requirements and 80 photocopiable worksheets.
