Contrary to predictions that it would become increasingly redundant
in a globalizing world, citizenship is back with a vengeance. The
Oxford Handbook of Citizenship brings together leading experts in
law, philosophy, political science, economics, sociology, and
geography to provide a multidisciplinary, comparative discussion of
different dimensions of citizenship: as legal status and political
membership; as rights and obligations; as identity and belonging;
as civic virtues and practices of engagement; and as a discourse of
political and social equality or responsibility for a common good.
The contributors engage with some of the oldest normative and
substantive quandaries in the literature, dilemmas that have
renewed salience in today's political climate. As well as setting
an agenda for future theoretical and empirical explorations, this
Handbook explores the state of citizenship today in an accessible
and engaging manner that will appeal to a wide academic and
non-academic audience. Chapters highlight variations in citizenship
regimes practiced in different countries, from immigrant states to
'non-western' contexts, from settler societies to newly independent
states, attentive to both migrants and those who never cross an
international border. Topics include the 'selling' of citizenship,
multilevel citizenship, in-between statuses, citizenship laws,
post-colonial citizenship, the impact of technological change on
citizenship, and other cutting-edge issues. This Handbook is the
major reference work for those engaged with citizenship from a
legal, political, and cultural perspective. Written by the most
knowledgeable senior and emerging scholars in their fields, this
comprehensive volume offers state-of-the-art analyses of the main
challenges and prospects of citizenship in today's world of
increased migration and globalization. Special emphasis is put on
the question of whether inclusive and egalitarian citizenship can
provide political legitimacy in a turbulent world of exploding
social inequality and resurgent populism.
