In this study we change our focus from a European setting to a global one. We were interested to see how our observations from the first study would be reflected in a more global context with focus on the cases of Canada, India and South Africa looking at both the models for world citizenship education and the influence of contextual factors.

In choosing these countries we were interested in:

• Countries on different continents
• Countries in different stages of national, social and economic development
• Countries in which there was considerable diversity in the population
• Countries in which citizenship and world citizenship education was seen as an important priority
• Countries, because of the limitations of researchers, which used English as a primary language.

In addition to background research we asked for assistance from professors in the field of teacher education in the three countries to provide us with information on key questions related to citizenship education and teacher training.
