In this book Derek Heater offers a concise and accessible survey of this complex debate.  He aims both to interpret these concepts and to assist in their comprehension. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCentral to the organization of the book is Heater's claim that  the notion of world citizenship remains weak unless it is able to stand alongside and be comparable to citizenship in its traditional state-embedded sense.  Thus, the core chapters are arranged according to a basic breakdown of the key components of citizenship, covering:  identity and morality;  law and civil rights;  social, economic and environmental citizenship;  political citizenship;  and competence and education. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author outlines and assesses both supporting and opposing arguments, illustrating his analysis with wide-ranging historical and political references, from the Stoics to the present day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an essential text for those studying citizenship and will also be of great interest to students of political theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 December 2004\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContinuum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780826477545\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e210\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515275083916,"sku":"9780826477545","price":47.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780826477545","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
