Beschreibung:
Carol McNamara is associate director for public programs for the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership at Arizona State University.
The purpose of this volume is to discuss the concept of citizenship-in terms of its origins, its meanings, and its contemporary place and relevance in American democracy, and within a global context. The authors in this collection wrestle with the connection of citizenship to major tensions between liberty and equality, dynamism and stability, and civic disagreement and social cohesion. The essays also raise fundamental questions about the relationship between citizenship and leadership, and invite further reflection on the features of citizenship and civic leadership under the American Constitution. Finally, this collection offers various suggestions about how to revitalize citizenship and civic leadership through an education that is conducive to a renewal of American civic practices and institutions.
Introduction by Carol McNamara and Trevor Shelley
