Across countries, education and democracy are highly correlated. We motivate empirically and then model a causal mechanism explaining this correlation. In our model, schooling teaches people to interact with others and raises the benefits of civic participa-tion, including voting and organizing. In the battle between democracy and dictatorship, dem...
Education may promote democracy because it raises the benefits (or reduces the costs) of political activity. In Sect. 4, we take this as an assumption and show how it explains the evi-dence. In this section, we describe some theories of why education raises civic participation and then present some empirical evidence bearing on them.
Perhaps the simplest hypothesis explaining the link between education and civic participa-tion is that indoctrination about political participation is a major component of education. In democracies, schools teach their students that political participation is good. One “con-tent standard” listed by the State of California’s Department of Education ...
Peer incentives for participation determine a social multiplier, which could be understood as a bandwagon effect. The more active members a group already has, the more likely to partic-ipate the remaining members are. The participation rate ai is then endogenously determined as a function of the exogenous parameters gi and h. In a group equilibrium...
The correlation between education and democracy is clear. The reason for this correlation is not. In this paper, we offer one explanation for the correlation. Our explanation hinges on the connection between education and the costs and benefits of political engagement. Schools socialize young people and political involvement is one form of socializ...

Democratic education functions as a privi-leged nodal point of different political discourses. Two discourses against (elitist and neoliberal) and six discourses pro democratic education (liberal, deliberative, multiculturalist, participatory, critical, and agonistic) construct its meaning.
