Citizenship in Transnational Perspective: Australia, Canada and New Zealand / Jatinder Mann
(ed.). - Palgrave Macmillan, 2017. ISBN: 3-319-53528-5
This edited collection explores citizenship in a transnational perspective, with a focus on Australia,
Canada, and New Zealand. It adopts a multi-disciplinary approach and offers historical, legal,
political, and sociological perspectives. The two overarching themes of the book are ethnicity and
Indigeneity. The contributions in the collection come from widely respected international scholars
who approach the subject of citizenship from a range of perspectives: some arguing for a post-
citizenship wor ld, others questioning the v ery concept itself, or its app lication to Indigenous nati ons.

Expanding Human Rights: 21st Century Norms and Governance / Alison Brusk and Michael Stohl
(eds.). - Edward Elgar Publishing, 2017. ISBN: 1-78536-883-4
This multi-disciplinary book addresses the ever-expanding notion of human rights within the 21st
century. By analyzing the global dynamics of the mobilization of new actors, claims, institutions
and modes of accountability, Brysk and Stohl assess the potential and limitations of global reforms.
Expanding Human Rights gives a comprehensive overview of current human rights issues and
the outlook for the future. The contributors present evidence of new methods for enforcing existing
rights and new strategies for further development through in-depth analysis of campaigns and
reforms from Eastern Europe, Japan, India, Africa and the US. These include rights of indigenous
peoples, food and water rights, violence against women, child mortality and international financial
and corporate responsibility.
This book will interest academics and advanced students in human rights, international affairs,
political science and law. Policy makers and global human rights activists will find the analyses
and insights concerning the expansion of rights and the often accompanying backlash to be of great
use when approaching their next human rights campaign.
