Future Practices of Citizenship in Asia and the West (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu
Reviews
Description
This book investigates some of the biggest challenges facing society in the twenty-first century. Research conducted in Asia and the West highlights the struggle for rights and recognition by indigenous peoples, women, migrants, and the young, as well as the dampening effects some government responses to Covid-19 have had on artistic freedoms and citizen participation. Digitisation is shown to be a double-edged sword, with ill effects on citizenship being countered by positive ones from grass-roots activities. The biggest challenge facing the world today is climate change. Issues of sustainability can also be a double-edged sword depending on how they are addressed by governments and those they govern. What unites all of the papers in this book is their people-centred approach, with Michel Foucault's concept of the 'Care of the Self' as a connecting theme uniting their different research endeavours.
