In stark contrast to previous scholarship about citizenship as a
construct, this groundbreaking book covers the full spectrum of
literature on citizenship theory, including the state and structure
of identity, the individual and the public, and the enduring issues
of civic engagement and collective discourse. It examines some of
the complex challenges faced by citizens and policy makers and
explores the existing procedural and institutional mechanisms that
undermine democratic political accountability as well as its
legitimation. Drawing from classical conceptions of citizenship in
the early Greco-Roman eras to the more contemporary critical social
theory and postmodernist contentions, the work casts a wide net
that covers complex issues including rights and obligation, the
doctrine of state sovereignty and authority, equality, the
principle of majority rule, citizen participation in governance,
public versus self-interest, ideas of justice, immigration and
cultural identity, global citizenship, and the evolution of hybrid
communities that challenge traditional notions of state-citizenship
identity. With meticulous detail and powerful analysis, author Kalu
N. Kalu unceasingly places citizenship as the central thesis of
this project, illuminating its intellectual richness on the one
hand, and demonstrating the ongoing challenges in both
conceptualization and practice, on the other.
