Description
Citizenship: A Very Short Introduction by Richard Bellamy Interest in citizenship has never been higher, with politicians, church leaders, and campaigning groups all stressing its importance. This compact introduction offers a fresh look at an idea that is as important as it is rare - the prospect of influencing government policy according to reasonably fair rules and on a more or less equal basis with others. Bellamy examines how ideas of citizenship have changed over time, from ancient Greece to the present, and explores concepts such as membership and belonging. He also looks at the challenges confronting the possibility of citizenship today, including the impact of globalization and the teaching of citizenship in schools. This book provides a clear and concise overview of a topic that is central to modern society.
