- Zusatztext
- Globalization creates new challenges for citizenship: boundaries are being blurred and nation-state powers eroded. Millions of people have multiple citizenship, millions more lack citizenship of their country of residence. Cultural heterogeneity is escalating. There are increasing numbers of citizens who do not belong. This undermines the nation-state as the central site of democracy. New approaches are needed, which take account of complex identities and transnational belonging, and which allow for democratic control of power at all its proliferating levels.
- Kurztext
- A timely and pertinent book from well known and highly regarded authors Links political theory with up to date analysis of the emerging practical consequences for citizenship of migration and minority formation Offers international examples drawn from original research Issues addressed are truly multidisciplinary
