Description
This analysis argues that "citizens" should be aware of what their status implies and realize when the term is abused. It is moreover, important to understand the complexity of the role of the citizen and to appreciate that much needs to be learned if civic rights are to be exercised, civic duties are to be performed and a life of civic virtue is to be pursued. The book is divided in three parts: the first provides an historical survey from the Greeks to the present; the second an analysis of the various facets of citizenship, and the final part a synthesis based on the concept of multiple citizenship.
