Anotace:	Combining both Western and non-Western perspectives, Citizenship and National Identity deftly explores the major problems and issues involved in understanding the relationship between citizenship and national identity in a contemporary context. This volume of original essays provides an incisive analysis of the prevailing concepts of citizenship and nationality, which are becoming increasingly problematic in todayÃ†s world with its numerous polyethnic and multinational societies. Featuring a truly global perspective covering different continents, time periods, and countries at various stages of development, this volume also emphasizes the views of weaker and smaller groups. By delinking national identity from its anchorage in a nation-state and arguing against fusing ethnicity, nationality, and citizenship, the contributors look hopefully to the process of globalization that has resulted in the coexistence of peoples of different national/ethnic backgrounds in the same polity. Innovative, unconventional, and challenging, this interdisciplinary volume is aimed at accelerating the democratic process. Students and academics in the fields of sociology, political theory, social anthropology, ethnic studies, political sociology, and culture studies will want to read this timely collection of essays. Researchers and policymakers will likewise find the topics covered of current and empirical interest.
