Christian Joppke 
Citizenship and Immigration 

This incisive book provides a succinct overview of the new academic
field of citizenship and immigration, as well as presenting a fresh
and original argument about changing citizenship in our
contemporary human rights era.

Instead of being nationally resilient or in
‘postnational’ decline, citizenship in Western states
has continued to evolve, converging on a liberal model of inclusive
citizenship with diminished rights implications and increasingly
universalistic identities. This convergence is demonstrated through
a sustained comparison of developments in North America, Western
Europe and Australia. Topics covered in the book include: recent
trends in nationality laws; what ethnic diversity does to the
welfare state; the decline of multiculturalism accompanied by the
continuing rise of antidiscrimination policies; and the new state
campaigns to ‘upgrade’ citizenship in the post-2001
period.

Sophisticated and informative, and written in a lively and
accessible style, this book will appeal to upper-level students and
scholars in sociology, political science, and immigration and
citizenship studies.
