'Citizen Knowledge' discusses how various forms of knowledge are dealt with in societies that combine a democratic political system with a capitalist economic system. How do citizens learn about politics? How are scientific insights taken up in politics? What role can markets play for processing decentralized knowledge? Lisa Herzog argues that the fraught relation between democracy and capitalism gets out of balance if too much knowledge is treated according to the logic of markets. Complex societies need different mechanisms for dealing with knowledge, among which democratic deliberation and expert communities are central. 'Citizen Knowledge' develops the vision of an egalitarian society that considers the use of knowledge in society a matter of shared democratic responsibility.

This book is based on the proceedings of the Fourth Annual Education Conference of the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR), entitled 'The Future of Education in the UAE: Innovation & Knowledge Production' held on September 17-18, 2013. The aim of the Conference was to raise awareness of the growing importance of investment in human capital to build a knowledge-based society, values of citizenship, and the creation of skilled workforce to achieve sustainable development and the ability to compete globally. This volume supports the UAE's ongoing efforts to develop an effective and innovative education system that prepares its students and educational institutions to become the catalyst for innovative research, development and to allow the nation to progress in stature within the global economy. Presented here is a compilation of selected speakers' papers, which puts forward a clear and useful set of recommendations for future education policy, outlining the latest perspectives on educational reform, while experts from within the UAE aligned those ideas with the practical realities of the country's current education system. This provides an opportunity for a better understanding and greater awareness of the issues raised, and the development of appropriate solutions to meet the present and future challenges facing the development of the education system in the UAE.
