Description
Presenting a diverse range of theories and empirical situations, this book provides an incisive analysis of the relationship between citizenship and national identity. The contributors argue against fusing the cognate concepts of ethnicity, nationality and citizenship in order to break out of the resulting impasse created by treating nationalism and the nation-state as fixed givens. The book has a truly global spread, covering different continents, time periods and countries at varying show more stages of development. The book accommodates the on-going process of globalization which has resulted in the co-existence of peoples of different national/ethnic backgrounds in the same polity. In doing so, the contributors foreground the perspectives of weaker/smaller groups. Innovative, unconventional and challenging, this interdisciplinary volume is aimed at accelerating the democratic process. show lessTags
