Citizenship
Cohen, Elizabeth F., 1973-Cambridge, UK ; Medford, MA : Polity Press, 2019."Although we live in a period of unprecedented globalization and migration, citizenship matters more than ever. Here, Elizabeth F. Cohen and Cyril Ghosh examine multiple facets of the concept, including classic and contemporary theories, historical development, and lived experience. This book is essential reading for students and scholars alike"--Although we live in a period of unprecedented globalization and mass migration, many contemporary western liberal democracies are asserting their sovereignty over who gets to become members of their polities with renewed ferocity. Citizenship matters more than ever. In this book, Elizabeth F. Cohen and Cyril Ghosh provide a concise and comprehensive introduction to the concept of citizenship and evaluate the idea's continuing relevance in the 21st century. They examine multiple facets of the concept, including the classic and contemporary theories that inform the practice of citizenship, the historical development of citizenship as a practice, and citizenship as an instrument of administrative rationality as well as lived experience. They show how access to a range of rights and privileges that accrue from citizenship in countries of the global north is creating a global citizenship-based caste system. This skillful critical appraisal of citizenship in the context of phenomena such as the global refugee crisis, South-North migration, and growing demands for minority rights will be essential reading for students and scholars of citizenship, migration studies and democratic theory.

Citizenship
Kochenov, Dimitry, 1979-Cambridge, Massachusetts ; London, England : The MIT Press, [2019]"The glorification of citizenship is a given in today's world, part of a civic narrative that invokes liberation, dignity, and nationhood. In reality...citizenship is a story of complacency, hypocrisy, and domination, flattering to citizens and demeaning for noncitizens...[This book] explains the state of citizenship in the modern world. [The author] offers a critical introduction to a subject most often regarded uncritically, describing what citizenship is, what it entails, how it came about, and how its role in the world has been changing. He examines four key elements of the concept: status, considering how and why the status of citizenship is extended, what function it serves, and who is left behind; rights, particularly the right to live and work in a state; duties, and what it means to be a 'good citizen'; and politics, as enacted in the granting and enjoyment of citizenship. Citizenship promises to apply the attractive ideas of dignity, equality, and human worth—but to strictly separated groups of individuals. Those outside the separation aren't citizens as currently understood, and they do not belong. Citizenship, [the author] warns, is too often a legal tool that justifies violence, humiliation, and exclusion."--The story of citizenship as a tale not of liberation, dignity, and nationhood but of complacency, hypocrisy, and domination. The glorification of citizenship is a given in today's world, part of a civic narrative that invokes liberation, dignity, and nationhood. In reality, explains Dimitry Kochenov, citizenship is a story of complacency, hypocrisy, and domination, flattering to citizens and demeaning for noncitizens. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Kochenov explains the state of citizenship in the modern world. Kochenov offers a critical introduction to a subject most often regarded uncritically, describing what citizenship is, what it entails, how it came about, and how its role in the world has been changing. He examines four key elements of the concept: status, considering how and why the status of citizenship is extended, what function it serves, and who is left behind; rights, particularly the right to live and work in a state; duties, and what it means to be a "good citizen"; and politics, as enacted in the granting and enjoyment of citizenship. Citizenship promises to apply the attractive ideas of dignity, equality, and human worth-but to strictly separated groups of individuals. Those outside the separation aren't citizens as currently understood, and they do not belong. Citizenship, Kochenov warns, is too often a legal tool that justifies violence, humiliation, and exclusion.

Citizenship
Faulks, KeithLondon ; New York : Routledge, 2000.This book presents a comprehensive and authoritative overview of citizenship, which has become one of the most important political ideas of our time. It is contended that citizenship has great emancipatory potential as an egalitarian status which recognises both the rights to which we are entitled and the responsibilities upon which stable governance rests. For this potential to be fulfilled, however, Faulks argues that citizenship must be freed from its close association in modernity with the state and the market, which in practice has undermined the significance of our rights and responsibilities. In advancing a postmodern theory of citizenship this work addresses such topical questions as: Can citizenship exist without the nation-state? What should the balance be between our rights and responsibilities? Should we enjoy group as well as individual rights? Is citizenship relevant to our private as well as our public lives? Have processes of globalisation rendered citizenship redundant?
