Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Millions of people around the Asia-Pacific region are suffering from the twin effects of globalization and exclusionary nationality laws.

This collection of essays discusses the ways in which citizenship laws in the region might be made consistent with human dignity. It considers the connectedness of national belonging and citizenship in East and Southeast Asian and Pacific states including Australia; the impact of mass migration, cultural homogenization and other effects of globalization on notions of citizenship; and possibilities of commitment to a transnational democratic citizenship that respects cultural difference. 252 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In Western Europe, the notion of social exclusion is rapidly diffusing in recent years.

It is shown that social exclusion goes beyond these by explicitly embracing the relational as well as the distributional aspects of poverty and emphasizing processes. In this book, the authors explore the specific forms of social exclusion in the ongoing processes of globalization, deregulation, crisis of the welfare state, and rise of individualism. 237 pp. Englisch. …
