Beskrivning

This text seeks to understand the problematic relationship between liberal democracy and contemporary citizenship by tracing the links between conceptual debates about these issues and the specific social, political and historical dynamics of a host of different countries. Offering a careful blend of theoretical discussion and case study material, it provides an introduction to both sociologies of citizenship and politics of democracy and a fascinating series of overviews of particular nation states. Class, race, gender and globalization are recurring themes in the book, which addresses the ongoing possibilities of politics and cultural meaning within nation states.

'The scope of the collection is admirable and many of the individual essays are provocative and fascinating...The balance between the theoretical and descriptive material is well thought out and carefully structured, and should make this book a valuable resource for scholars and students considering the meaning of citizenship in a world of collapsing boundaries.' - Sandra Berns, Australian Journal of Political Science
