Globalization and Citizenship: Globalization

Autor Hans Schattle
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 feb 2012

This lively and invigorating book explores the complex relationship between globalization and citizenship. From Cairo to Beijing, campaigns for civil rights and democracy around the world are intensifying and speeding up in the digital media age, and public recognition of global interdependence continues to rise. At the same time, many national governments are tightening border controls and further limiting access to citizenship in a climate of high public anxiety and economic uncertainty.

Although globalization continues to open up many new opportunities for citizens to enter the international arena and make their voices heard, as Schattle shows, the institution of national citizenship remains highly resilient.

Recenzii

Hans Schattle charts the new trajectories of citizenship in our moment and helps us see the fundamental contradiction that animates them. He offers us a badly needed guide for navigating the resulting confusion surrounding one of the most pressing issues of our time. This will be an invaluable book for undergraduate and graduate courses and anyone interested in understanding the challenges of globalization to civic identity and the ordering of public life.
This timely book deftly surveys key developments worldwide, ranging from the impact of social media in the uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East to the contested role of activists and the condition of migrants in Europe and the United States. Schattle uses these central cases to examine the simultaneous disentanglement of political engagement from territorial confines and the continued resilience and power of the nation and the state in the production and reproduction of citizenship. Essential reading for students and scholars of media studies and international relations.
How does one tackle a topic as big as globalization and citizenship? Schattle's writing rattles along, taking in everything from the Rights of Man to Facebook, Twitter, and WikiLeaks. At the same time, it expertly elucidates central episodes in recent history, from the Arab Spring to the uphill struggle for democracy in China. Underlying this rich narrative is a nuanced normative argument about the limits and possibilities of cosmopolitan citizenship. Truly a great read.
