About this Book

This book is structured around a debate between Andrew Linklater and David Miller as to the meaning and scope of citizenship. It examines the concept of citizenship in the light of normative ethical and political arguments as to the possible costs and benefits to political order, community, rights and participation of opting either for a cosmopolitan or a bounded citizenship ideal. As well as assessing the meaning and value of cosmopolitan citizenship this book raises fundamental issues as to the adequacy of the current conceptual resources of political and international theory for understanding and judging the politics of the twenty-first century.
