This incisive book provides a succinct overview of the new academicfield of citizenship and immigration, as well as presenting a freshand original argument about changing citizenship in ourcontemporary human rights era.
Instead of being nationally resilient or in"postnational" decline, citizenship in Western stateshas continued to evolve, converging on a liberal model of inclusivecitizenship with diminished rights implications and increasinglyuniversalistic identities. This convergence is demonstrated througha sustained comparison of developments in North America, WesternEurope and Australia. Topics covered in the book include: recenttrends in nationality laws; what ethnic diversity does to thewelfare state; the decline of multiculturalism accompanied by thecontinuing rise of antidiscrimination policies; and the new statecampaigns to "upgrade" citizenship in the post-2001period.
Sophisticated and informative, and written in a lively andaccessible style, this book will appeal to upper-level students andscholars in sociology, political science, and immigration andcitizenship studies.
