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. Â 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.
