Citizenship and National Identity

In the essays collected in this book, the author shows that such an ideal is not only desirable, but feasible. He explains how active citizenship on the republican model differs from liberal citizaenship, and why it serves disadvantaged groups better than currently fashionable forms of identity politics.He couples this with a robust defence of the principle of nationality, arguing that a shared national identity is necessary to motivate citizens to work together in the name of justice.
