'A far reaching and important contribution to the growing interest in the problems of citizenship in a global environment. The volume clearly identifies and debates the inherent ambiguities and contradictions of citizenship in the modern world. Although in recent years there has been a robust flurry of publications in the field of citizenship studies, few have concentrated so specifically on the Asia Pacific region. The volume contains a rich offering of papers on Malaya, Philippines, China, Tonga, New Caladonia and Pacific Islands. Finally, the book is clearly at the cutting edge of the emerging debate about the place for and possibility of national citizenship within a framework of political globalization. There is a clear need to address the questions of human rights in relation to citizenship as a legal status within the nation-state in a globalized world where state sovereignty is being eroded.' - Brian S. Turner, Deakin University Australia 'This volume is an outstanding contribution to the international literature on Citizenship internationally. The writing is clear and accessible and many of the contributions are of the highest academic order. Anyone interested in either Citizenship or Globalization should read the book.' - Professor Wayne Hudson, National Institute for Law, Ethics and Public Affairs, Griffith University, Australia
