Citizenship holds greater importance than ever before. In this book, Elizabeth F. Cohen and Cyril Ghosh offer a concise and comprehensive introduction to the concept of citizenship and assess its ongoing relevance in the 21st century. They delve into various aspects of citizenship, including the classical and contemporary theories that shape its practice, the historical evolution of citizenship as a phenomenon, and its role as both an instrument of administrative rationality and a lived experience. Through their analysis, they illustrate how access to a range of rights and privileges granted by citizenship in countries of the global north is contributing to the formation of a global citizenship-based caste system. This insightful critical appraisal of citizenship in the context of phenomena such as the global refugee crisis, South-North migration, and escalating demands for minority rights is a must-read for students and scholars of citizenship, migration studies, and democratic theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 224g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 137 x 214 x 13 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781509522262\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elizabeth F.
