Publications

As part of the annual Aarau Democracy Days, the ZDA created this publication series at the Schulthess Zurich publishing house, which is also available for other publications of the ZDA and its departments.

Publications on democracy research

The publication series was created for the contributions of the annual Democracy Days Aarau and is available for further ZDA publications. The individual volumes show the scope of democracy issues that the ZDA research deals with – from «Demokratie in der Gemeinde» to «Herausforderung Harmos» and to «Demokratie in der Europäischen Union».

History didactics empirical series

Since 2007, the Center for Civic Education and History Didactics has been holding academic conferences in the series Geschichtsdidaktik empirisch (gde). On the one hand, the conferences provide an overview of current empirical research projects in history didactics in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. On the other hand, the gde encourages academic exchange between the people involved. Between 2007 and 2017, conference proceedings were published in the series “Geschichtsdidaktik heute”, since then anthologies have been produced.
