Abstract

Citizenship is an important part of government activities. It is important so governments in Western societies pay attention and be concrete. There are academic contents published in the Western society extensively. Democratic citizenship process has a role and significance in government activities in Western societies such as the Federal Republic of Germany where there are successes in the process of creating citizenship. Germany case sets example for analyzing the process of citizenship by using a learning process based on educational innovation called “Citizen Education”, having youths as the main target groups that have learned about democratic citizenship and using the integration of spatial work with the general citizen group. The concept of the process of creating democratic citizenship in Thailand is still limited. However, there is a continuing study of the work under the domestic political situation with political factors in terms of social inequality. Thailand still has to study the effects of such factors continuously in order to correct the situation, to be an opportunity, to reach the status of citizens, to develop citizenship process and to create a democratic social atmosphere in society.
