Nations and Citizenship in the Global Age

"This book is about the formation of nationhood and citizenship and their transformation in the global age. The different collective identities which evolved, affected particularly by immigration, in Britain, France, the United States and Germany are outlined in a historical genetic and comparative perspective with special emphasis on the case of Germany. The author looks at the question of transnational civil ties and the identities which emerge during the process of European integration and how they relate to national nd sub-national identities."--BOOK JACKET.
