Citizenship

This book presents a clear and comprehensive overview of citizenship, which has become one of the most important political ideas of our time. The author, an experienced textbook writer and teacher, uses a postmodern theory of citizenship to ask topical questions as:* Can citizenship exist without the nation-state?* What should the balance be between our rights and responsibilities?* Should we enjoy group as well as individual rights?* Is citizenship relevant to our private as well as our public lives?* Have processes of globalisation rendered citizenship redundant?
