Traditional understandings of citizenship are facing a number of challenges. Ideas        of cosmopolitan and environmental citizenship have emerged in the light of concerns        about global inequality and climate change, whilst new models of multicultural        citizenship have been developed in response to the dilemmas posed by immigration and        the presence of national minorities. At the same time, more particular debates take        place about the demands citizenship places upon us in our everydaylives. Do we have        a duty as citizens to take steps to reduce the risk of needing to rely upon state        benefits, including health care? Does good citizenship require that we send our        children to the local school even when it performs poorly? Does a parent fail in his        duty as a citizen - not just as a father,say - when he is less involved in the        raising of his children than their mother? Should citizens refrain from appealing to        religious reasons in public debate? Do immigrants have a duty to integrate? Do we        have duties of citizenship to minimise the size of our ecological footprints? This        book develops a normative theory of citizenship that brings together issues such as        these under a common framework rather than treating them in isolation in the way        that often happens. It distinguishes twodifferent ways of thinking about citizenship        both of which shed some light on the demands that is makes upon us: according to the        first approach, the demands of citizenship are grounded exclusively in        considerations of justice, whereas according to the second, they are grounded in the        good that isrealised by a political community the members of which treat each other        as equals not only in the political process but in civil society and beyond.
