Description
The Citizenship Debates: A Reader by Gershon Shafir This multidisciplinary volume explores the concept of citizenship in all its complexity. Recent global trends, including democratization, ethnic and national conflict, and increased migration, have reignited debates about the nature of citizenship. Leading scholars offer diverse perspectives on these changes, challenging traditional views of citizenship. The book begins with an introduction before presenting a range of essays that address the revision of citizenship through neoliberal viewpoints, as well as critiques from communitarian, social-democratic, nationalist, feminist, and multiculturalist perspectives. Through its examination of these debates, The Citizenship Debates provides valuable insights into the legal and social framework for individual autonomy and political democracy.
