Reviews

’What is the status of citizenship today? Can there be a transnational or cosmopolitan citizenship? But what kind of "city" would cosmopolitans inhabit as citizens? With keen insight and from a number of angles the papers collected in this volume explore these questions crucial in our time of globalization, mass migrations, and terror wars.’ Fred Dallmayr, University of Notre Dame, USA
