The success of individual nation states today is often measured in
terms of their ability to benefit from and contribute to a host of
global economic, political, socio-cultural, technological, and
educational networks. This increased multifaceted international
inter-dependence represents an intuitively contradictory and an
immensely complex situation. This scenario requires that national
governments, whose primary responsibility is towards their
citizenry, must relinquish a degree of control over state borders
to constantly developing trans and multinational regimes and
institutions. Once state borders become permeable all sorts of
issues related to rights earned or accrued due to membership of a
national community come into question. Given that neither
individuals nor states can eschew the influence of the growing
interdependence, this new milieu is often described in terms of
shrinking of the world into a global village. This reshaping of the
world requires us to broaden our horizons and re-evaluate the
manner in which we theorize human personhood within communal
boundaries. It also demands us to acknowledge that the relative
decline of Euro-American economic and political influence and the
rise of Asian and Latin American states at the global level have
created spaces in which a de-territorialized and a de-historicized
notion of citizenship and state can now be explored. The essays in
this volume represent diverse disciplinary, analytical, and
methodological approaches to understand what the implications are
of being a citizen of both a nation state and the world
simultaneously. In sum, Deconstructing Global Citizenship explores
the question of whether a synthesis of contradictory national and
global tendencies in the term "global citizenship" is even
possible, or if we are better served by fundamentally reconsidering
our ideas of "citizenship," "community," and "politics."
