This collection of essays explores the value and role of a more “global” view of citizenship, focusing on expatriate voting rights and citizenship in Europe and Australia. The European Parliament has designated 2008 as ‘The European Year of Intercultural Dialogue’, an idea which embraces more plural and cosmopolitan ideas of identity and citizenship and which is the focus of this volume.
