Description
At the beginning of the 21st century, there is a pressing need to develop new forms of citizenship to meet demands for self-determination advanced by substate nations and indigenous peoples. In Defence of Multinational Citizenship responds to this challenge by making a compelling case for a new form of multinational citizenship. Such a conception would provide equal recognition to the citizenship regimes of state and substate nations through a democratic argument for self-determination at the substate level, and a revised conception of state sovereignty that is divided and shared.

Editorial Reviews
Harty and Murphy delineate a strong case for differentiated citizenship. Reading a book like this from within a country (India) ... the Harty-Murphy exposition has relevance, immediacy, and a touch of poignancy ... Doubling as a useful primer to, and a pertinent critique of, one of the most important socio-political and cultural debates of the age, In Defence of Multinational Citizenship is a work that will interest a range of scholars from the social sciences and the humanities.
