In this eleventh volume in The World Over series, Simon and Brooks
examine and compare the rights and responsibilities of citizenship
across twenty-one countries. The countries included are Canada, the
United States, Argentina, Brazil, Great Britain, France, Germany,
Italy, Sweden, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Israel, Egypt, Iran,
Nigeria, South Africa, India, China, Japan, and Australia. In
addition to reporting on the rights that citizens enjoy in these
countries, as for example the right to run for and hold public
office, vote, obtain scholarships, and hold government positions,
the authors also describe the responsibilities that are attached to
the role of citizen_for example, to serve in the military, serve on
a jury, and pay taxes. When available, Simon and Brooks report on
public opinion data on how proud respondents are of the country in
which they are citizens, as measured by such variables as whether
they would rather be a citizen of their country over any other
country in the world, how proud they are of their country's
political influence in the world, how democracy works in their
country, and whether they believe they should support their country
even if it is in the wrong. Following a brief chapter on the
history of citizenship, the book is organized such that the first
section provides a country-by-country profile of each of the issues
describing rights and responsibilities and reports on the public
opinion data. The second part is explicity comparative and
describes the countries against each other.
