Abstract
The 'Citizenship Education: the Global Dimension' teaching resource (www.citizenshipglobal. org.uk), has been produced to support the delivery of the new Citizenship National Curriculum in England and Wales due in September 2002. However, this resource, which addresses, among other things, the topical but controversial issue of economic globalisation, could complement many other areas of the secondary curriculum. An analysis of the resource indicated that it dealt effectively with the interaction between local and global issues in a way that was relevant and likely to stimulate the interest of secondary-level students. Although this resource has been developed in the United Kingdom, it could be of considerable benefit to teachers in other parts of the world, as globalisation is now extremely pervasive.
