  The World We Want: Virtue, Vice and the Good Citizen
by
Mark Kingwell

In his sixth book, political-cultural theorist Kingwell poses the question of what citizenship means in an age of broken identities and disintegrating nationalism.

This book is about a new concept of citizenship.  The author believes that we have progressed from citizenship based first on tribal loyalty, second on religious belief and more recently legal status.  In light of globalism and the diminishment of the nation-state, we need a definition of citizenship that is inclusive and not brutally exclusive as the other forms often were.
