Beskrivning
The purpose of this volume is to discuss the concept of citizenship—in terms of its origins, its meanings, and its contemporary place and relevance in American democracy, and within a global context. The authors in this collection wrestle with the connection of citizenship to major tensions between liberty and equality, dynamism and stability, and civic disagreement and social cohesion. The essays also raise fundamental questions about the relationship between citizenship and leadership, and invite further reflection on the features of citizenship and civic leadership under the American Constitution. Finally, this collection offers various suggestions about how to revitalize citizenship and civic leadership through an education that is conducive to a renewal of American civic practices and institutions.

Recensioner i media

This scholarly collection of 22 essays focuses on the origin, prerequisites, and challenges of citizenship in the US. Though many are political theorists, the range of authors in this collection is quite broad. They do not all agree in terms of definitions, applications, and/or prescriptions, and the book does not attempt to bring about consensus—other than asserting the importance of citizenship in a democratic republic…. [T]he book has many “Aha” moments in which the authors provide new insights, applications, and/or data. In many cases, contemporary situations and applications flesh out theoretical premises. By and large, the essays, which emanated from a conference, are stand-alone contributions that could serve as the basis for academic analysis and discussion. Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and researchers.
