Rejecting conventional accounts of liberal nationalism and cosmopolitanism, Jan-Werner M?ler argues for a form of political belonging centered on universalist norms, adapted for specific constitutional cultures. At the same time, he presents a novel approach to thinking about political belonging and the preconditions of democratic legitimacy beyond the nation-state. The book takes the development of the European Union as a case study, but its lessons apply also to the United States and other parts of the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e M?ler's essay starts with an engaging historical account of the origins and spread of the concept of constitutional patriotism-the idea that political attachment ought to center on the norms and values of a liberal democratic constitution rather than a national culture or the \"global human community.\" In a more analytical part, he then proposes a critical conception of citizenship that makes room for dissent and civil disobedience while taking seriously a polity's need for stability over time. M?ler's theory of constitutional patriotism responds to the challenges of the de facto multiculturalism of today's states--with a number of concrete policy implications about immigration and the preconditions for citizenship clearly spelled out. And it asks what civic empowerment could mean in a globalizing world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan-Werner Muller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691118590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691118598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.74h x 6.34w x 0.76d","brand":"Jan-Werner Muller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44410390020351,"sku":"9780691118598","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bec096bc-85ff-4413-af29-7ea50724126b.jpg?v=1697536057","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constitutional-patriotism-jan-werner-muller-9780691118598","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
