An introductory survey of the history of the principles and
practice of citizenship, based on the premise that the current
conditions and debates about citizenship cannot be fully understood
without a knowledge of the historical background. This is provided
through an analytical narrative of the functioning of citizenship
and the major theorists from Sparta to the present day, including
quotations from key texts. In addition the reader is asked to
consider, based on the historical evidence presented, how
citizenship differs from other forms of socio-political identity.
In particular the commonly-held assumption that citizenship and
nationality are synonymous is questioned on the grounds of
historical experience and the difficulties it raises. Assuming no
background knowledge, this is an ideal introduction to the history
of citizenship. Key Features: *Fills a gap in the market by
covering a neglected facet of the subject of Citizenship: its
history *Comprehensive coverage, yet brief and easy-to-read
*Combines narrative, analysis and quotations from key texts to
offer a stimulating history of Citizenship
