Citizenship and Social Theory by Bryan S Turner

Citizenship and Social Theory by Bryan S Turner

Going beyond both traditional liberal theories of democracy and Marxist theories of civil society, leading international scholars rethink the relations between the individual and the state, community and family. They assess how social and political participation is changing in the modern world, investigate the historical roots of citizenship and its development alongside the nation state and urban society, and relate it to issues of welfare and the market. The final chapter asks whether the subordination of nation states to supranational institutions will replace state citizenship with a global conception of human rights.

`An interesting collection of essays which examine the relevance of the concept of citizenship for the current debates in social and political theory′ - Political Studies
