Description:
Citizenship implies exclusion of non-members. In a world of gross inequalities, poverty, and forced migration, citizenship in rich and safe Northern states increasingly is a privilege, and the exclusion of billions of desperately poor and uprooted is a scandal. In Citizenship and Exclusion, distinguished moral and political philosophers, historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and political scientists from America, Australia, and Europe try to understand these complex problems in a comparative and interdisciplinary way. They criticize existing institutions and policies and look for alternatives more in line with principles and constitutions of liberal democratic welfare stated, like permissive refugee and asylum policies, fair immigration policies, easy naturalization, and multi-ethnic and trans-national concepts and practices of citizenship.
