Description
Book SynopsisOffers a new theory of citizenship applicable beyond the nation-state. It brings political and moral philosophy together with current debates in citizenship, European integration, and international relations.
Trade ReviewThe book makes an original contribution to the treatment of EU democracy and citizenship through close and rigorous theoretical argument. It also suggests how supranational forms of citizenship – such as that of the EU – might inspire rethinking of moral and political agency in other contexts and polities.
