Drawing on Council of Europe material and his long experience of teaching and observing history in schools, the author attempts a definition of 'Europe', asks whether Europeans have anything in common and what is new about the 'New Europe'. In particular, he asks why young Europeans should learn history at all. If so, what kind and how? For what, and whose, purposes? And who decides what pupils learn? Teaching History in the New Europe was prompted by an influential symposium entitled 'History Teaching in the New Europe'. It will be invaluable to all those who are concerned with teaching history, as well as having an interest in European history and culture.
