Citizenship : discourse, theory, and transnational prospects
"This wide-ranging overview explores the important role of citizenship in the world's liberal democracies and how it is evolving. Long a neglected topic in the social sciences, citizenship is now at the forefront of scholarly discussions on democracy worldwide. Citizenship: Discourse, Theory and Transnational Prospects reviews the four broadly conceived themes that shape contemporary citizenship - inclusion, erasion, withdrawal and expansion and highlights there interconnectedness. This new look at the current and future state of citizenship will appeal to anyone interested in the study of immigration political sociology or globalization."--Jacket
