Global citizenship education has become an increasingly dominant discourse among western societies. However, practices of global citizenship education assume plural forms, among which neo-liberal global citizenship education is an important one. Neo-liberalism competitiveness emphasizes personal choice based on cometition and access to global competitiveness and global cultural capital guided by competence. If this marked-oriented competition continues to ignore question of power and access, global citizens of this kind will take it for granted that the privilege they enjoyed is a natural result and a symbol of personal success. For people in developing countries, this is an obviously unfair situation.
