Citizenship, Community and Democracy

In Western countries, the theories and practices of citizenship and democracy were premised on a relatively autonomous nation-state, yet national boundaries are now being tested through globalization. Increasingly, the nation-state is incapable of delivering on its promise of economic, political, and social rights. The contributions in this book focus on the relationship between citizenship and difference, highlighting new tensions between the local and the global.Vasta, Ellie is the author of 'Citizenship, Community and Democracy' with ISBN 9780312229801 and ISBN 0312229801.
