This book offers an incisive analysis of the problems and pressures of citizenship in the twenty-first century, focussing in particular on the apparent decline of traditional forms of civic engagement, the emergence of new forms of participation and the relationship between citizenship and globalization.

The 2nd edition of this successful book tests the claims of those who dismiss the continuing significance of globalization. It will appeal to all those who remain intrigued, confused or simply baffled by the controversy about globalization and its consequences for the twenty first century world order.

This book focuses on elucidating leading theoretical approaches to understanding globalization, both in its current form and potential future shapes. It is divided into two parts: the first examines competing explanatory theories of globalization in its contemporary form; the second looks at competing prescriptions for the future of globalization.
