Traditional statist approaches to citizenship emphasize the rights & duties of individuals as members of bounded sovereign communities, & deny that citizenship has any meaning when detached from the sovereign nation-state. Theorists in the Kantian tradition have used the idea of world citizenship to refer to obligations to care about the future of the whole human race. Here, this approach is extended by arguing for a dialogic conception of cosmopolitan citizenship. What distinguishes this approach is the claim that separate states & other actors have an obligation to give institutional expression to the idea of a universal communication community that reflects the heterogeneous character of international society. 59 References.

Spatial Citizenship Education is an innovative exploration of ways to engage and promote citizenship through a deeper understanding of spatial and geographic perspectives. The authors propose that recognizing the relationship between space and citizenry enables productive and positive engagement with important societal issues such as equity, justice, and environmental stewardship. By providing a historical overview of geography's contribution to citizenship education, including progress made and challenges faced by educational reform movements, this collection shows how geography can contribute to a new type of citizen--one with an enhanced understanding of the world as seen through the key concepts of geography: space, place, scale, power, and human-environment relationships. Through a theoretical explanation of key citizenship ideas, and by providing practical, classroom-based teaching tools, this volume will be essential for geography education researchers and social studies educators alike.
