This paper presents a neocommunitarian conception of citizenship identified in two textbooks of the programme ‘Education for Democratic
Citizenship’, organised by the Council of Europe. Critical discourse
analysis is applied to the key themes of the textbooks T-Kit 7: Under
construction: Citizenship Youth and Europe and Compass Manual
enclosing citizenship and human rights discourses, respectively. An intra-
disciplinary discussion follows drawing on critical political economy.The
findings of the analysis are that the textbooks exhibit an abstract representation of social reality as well as moral relativism stemming from neoliberal communitarianism. The identification of the neocommunitarian conception of citizenship reveals the power of citizenship education today.
