| Summary |
"New approaches to citizenship are needed, which take account of collective identities and accept that, with growing international mobility, many people now belong to more than one society. If democracy is to be maintained, then all members of society must have a political voice as a citizen." "Castles and Davidson explore these important questions and issues in a wide-ranging and extremely engaging analysis that considers citizenship, difference and democracy both in theoretical and applied terms. Offering a truly international framework, they examine citizenship in both western countries and the Asia-Pacific region and draw on important and illuminating examples throughout to illustrate and extend their argument."--Jacket. |
