Professor Hans Schattle’s Recent Publication, Professor Hans Schattle’s recent book ‘Globalization and Citizenship’ explores the complex ways that globalization has profoundly affected the once-static nationally defined boundaries of citizenship. In the digital media age, campaigns for civil rights and democracy are intensifying and speeding up around the world, from Cairo to Beijing, and public recognition of global interdependence continues to rise. At the same time, many national governments are tightening border controls and further limiting access to citizenship in a climate of high public anxiety and economic uncertainty. In his lively and invigorating book, Dr. Hans Schattle explores the roles of numerous social movements and advocacy groups at the heart of recent events such as the “Arab Spring” revolutions, the global contestation on the role and tactics of WikiLeaks, the controversy over the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Chinese political dissident Liu Xiaobo, and the heated debates on immigration and multiculturalism in Europe and the United States. Although globalization continues to open up many new opportunities for citizens to enter the international arena and make their voices heard, as the author shows, the institution of national citizenship remains highly resilient. Dr. Hans Schattle is an associate professor in the Department of Political Science and International Studies, and Underwood International College at Yonsei University. He is the author of ‘Globalization and Citizenship’ and ‘The Practices of Global Citizenship,’ both published by Rowman & Littlefield, as well as articles in Pacific Review, Pacific Focus, Journal of Political Ideologies, Citizenship Studies, PS: Political Science and Politics, Korea Journal of International Relations, and Korean Journal of Sociology. Before joining the faculty at Yonsei, Dr. Schattle was an assistant professor of Political Science at Roger Williams University. He earned his doctoral degree at Oxford and has worked as a journalist alongside his academic career.
