Although formally equal, relations between citizens are actually
characterised by many and varied forms of inequality. Do
contemporary theories of equality provide an adequate response to
the inequalities that afflict contemporary societies? And what is
the connection between theories of equality and the contemporary
politics of citizenship? Accessible and comprehensive, Rethinking
equality provides a clear, critical and very up-to-date account of
the most important contemporary egalitarian theories. Unusually, it
also relates these theories to contemporary political practice,
assessing them in relation to the impact of neoliberalism on
contemporary welfare states, and the shift from 'social' to
'active' forms of citizenship. As well as representing a
significant intervention within academic debates on equality and
citizenship, this book represents essential reading for students of
contemporary political theory. -- .
