Firmly anchored in contemporary political issues, Freedom and Borders: A Theory of Citizenship for the Age of Globalization delves into the history and theory of citizenship to illustrate its meaning and function, and how its transformative powers have the capacity to overcome contemporary challenges.

Showcasing the dynamics between citizenship, rights, and the state, Dario Mazzola addresses several crucial issues in political theory, including the integration between national and global citizenship, as well as peace, equality, and freedom. Combining perspectives from mainstream Anglo-Analytic philosophy with other viewpoints, chapters connect sources from a variety of disciplines and philosophical schools to weigh in on the ongoing debate over the positive and negative aspects of globalization, as well as their implications for the newly emergent global citizen.

Offering the benefits of a systematic, philosophical encounter between cultures and scholarships which have yet to converge on this topic, Freedom and Borders: A Theory of Citizenship for the Age of Globalization presents a unique and original theory of citizenship, producing a provocative read for the expert and an impassioned introduction for the student with an interest in citizenship studies.
