Reviews / Votes
"Anyone who wants to understand the ambivalent dynamics of populism and globalism and think about the future of citizenship and democracy will profit immensely from Shaw's scholarly work." * Sandra Seubert, Goethe-Universitaet Frankfurt * "Democratic constitutions invoke citizens as the ultimate source of political authority. Yet the link between constitutionalism and citizenship has been surprisingly neglected so far. In her magisterial treatise, Jo Shaw paints a sweeping panorama of the global landscape of "constitutional citizenship" in all its manifold and contradictory manifestations." -- Rainer Bauboeck, European University Institute, FlorenceMore details
