Synopsis: This book emphasizes the concept of citizenship as a driving force behind navigating the complexities of our modern world, as it explores the full potential and power of citizenship in relation to democracy, the market, and globalization. The book takes readers on a thought-provoking journey through the intricate interplay between citizenship and these three fundamental aspects of our contemporary world. As society grapples with existential threats ranging from democratic backsliding and economic inequality to the complex realities of globalization, this edited volume seeks to transcend conventional notions of citizenship. With populism thriving and traditional nation-state boundaries blurring, the authors argue for a redefined, proactive understanding of citizenship—one that encourages active participation, critical engagement, and robust discourse. This compelling read will intrigue scholars, researchers, graduate students, policymakers and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of the dynamic interplay between citizenship and current global issues. By bridging theoretical insights with real-world implications, this collection fosters an interdisciplinary dialogue that enriches scholarly engagement.
