'A concise view of the intersection between migration, ethnicity and citizenship in a globalised world.' - Urban Policy and Research 'This book by Castles and Davidson is a convincing synthesis of some of the main theoretical and policy issues in the field of migration and citizenship today. They again provide a remarkable theoretical solidity, as well as empirically grounded reflection which transcends both geographical and disciplinary boundaries. For these reasons, it is a must read for all students in the area of migration, globalization, ethnicity and citizenship. This confirms Castles' position as one of the leading transnational researchers in the field of migration.' - Marco Martiniello, International Sociology

Globalization creates new challenges for citizenship: boundaries are being blurred and nation-state powers eroded. Millions of people have multiple citizenship, millions more lack citizenship of their country of residence. Cultural heterogeneity is escalating. There are increasing numbers of citizens who do not belong. This undermines the nation-state as the central site of democracy. New approaches are needed, which take account of complex identities and transnational belonging, and which allow for democratic control of power at all its proliferating levels.
