Sustainability and the Virtues of Environmental Citizenship
This book develops an understanding of environmental virtues as an integral part of environmental citizenship. How can governments in a liberal society shape the choices and character development of free citizens?James Connelly argues that the shaping and promotion of environmental character and virtues can, and should be, done only indirectly.This leads to a consideration of the role of virtues within the life of citizens and of what constitutes an environmental citizen, together with an examination of the types of democratic participation and engagement available to citizens and their relation to the networks of civil society.The characterization of the virtues not only applies to individuals, but also to companies, organized groups and governments.Within the policy realm the question of environmental virtues and dispositions is becoming even more pertinent given the increased use of environmental policy instruments based on voluntary and economic incentives rather than more traditional command and control approaches.Sustainability and the Virtues of Environmental Citizenship will be of interest to scholars, activists, professionals and those working in the environmental theory and practice.

Citizenship
The story of citizenship as a tale not of liberation, dignity, and nationhood but of complacency, hypocrisy, and domination. The glorification of citizenship is a given in today's world, part of a civic narrative that invokes liberation, dignity, and nationhood.In reality, explains Dimitry Kochenov, citizenship is a story of complacency, hypocrisy, and domination, flattering to citizens and demeaning for noncitizens.In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Kochenov explains the state of citizenship in the modern world.Kochenov offers a critical introduction to a subject most often regarded uncritically, describing what citizenship is, what it entails, how it came about, and how its role in the world has been changing.He examines four key elements of the concept: status, considering how and why the status of citizenship is extended, what function it serves, and who is left behind; rights, particularly the right to live and work in a state; duties, and what it means to be a “good citizen”; and politics, as enacted in the granting and enjoyment of citizenship.Citizenship promises to apply the attractive ideas of dignity, equality, and human worth—but to strictly separated groups of individuals.Those outside the separation aren't citizens as currently understood, and they do not belong.Citizenship, Kochenov warns, is too often a legal tool that justifies violence, humiliation, and exclusion.

This means that the individual has the rights and obligations of a citizen in both countries, including the ability to live, work, and vote in either country. Dual citizenship can be acquired through various means, such as birth, marriage, or naturalization, and the specific rights and responsibilities associated with it can vary depending on the laws of each country.

Citizenship
Although we live in a period of unprecedented globalization and mass migration, many contemporary western liberal democracies are asserting their sovereignty over who gets to become members of their polities with renewed ferocity.Citizenship matters more than ever. In this book, Elizabeth F. Cohen and Cyril Ghosh provide a concise and comprehensive introduction to the concept of citizenship and evaluate the idea’s continuing relevance in the 21st century.They examine multiple facets of the concept, including the classic and contemporary theories that inform the practice of citizenship, the historical development of citizenship as a practice, and citizenship as an instrument of administrative rationality as well as lived experience.They show how access to a range of rights and privileges that accrue from citizenship in countries of the global north is creating a global citizenship-based caste system. This skillful critical appraisal of citizenship in the context of phenomena such as the global refugee crisis, South-North migration, and growing demands for minority rights will be essential reading for students and scholars of citizenship, migration studies and democratic theory.

Troubling Notions of Global Citizenship and Diversity in Mathematics Education
This edited volume explores how mathematics education is re/configured in relation to its past, present, and future when the rhetoric of critical global citizenship education is being applied to diverse local settings. Drawing upon diverse theoretical and methodological traditions across the globe including countries in South America, Asia, Australia, and Europe, each chapter challenges and, eventually, troubles the wide circulation of a universal imagery of citizenship based on mathematical competence in not only curriculum, school reforms and policy, but also in teaching and learning practices.Troubling the Euro-centric and global notions of citizenship and diversity, the book foregrounds local practices in mathematics education to portray a broader picture for the current problems of equity, social justice, and democracy.The book also engages with critical discussions on how ‘citizens’ and ‘noncitizens’ are being fabricated in the context of educational policies and specific mathematical practices. First of its kind, to trouble what is at stake when mathematics education is framed within the discourses of citizenship globally (through challenging and problematizing what is understood as ‘normal’), this book will be of relevance to scholars, academics, and researchers in the field of sociology of education, anthropology of education, philosophy of education, mathematics education, citizenship studies and international and comparative education.

Isn't it strange, citizenship?
Citizenship can seem strange because it is a legal and social construct that defines an individual's membership in a particular country or community. It can be strange because it can be both a source of privilege and exclusion, as it determines an individual's rights and responsibilities within a society. Additionally, citizenship can be acquired through birth, descent, or naturalization, and the criteria for obtaining citizenship can vary widely from country to country, adding to the complexity and strangeness of the concept.

How can a late repatriate obtain another citizenship in addition to German citizenship?
A late repatriate can obtain another citizenship in addition to German citizenship by applying for naturalization in the country they wish to become a citizen of. Each country has its own requirements for naturalization, which may include residency, language proficiency, and knowledge of the country's laws and customs. The late repatriate would need to meet these requirements and go through the naturalization process in the country they are seeking citizenship in. It is important to note that some countries may not allow dual citizenship, so the late repatriate should research the laws of both Germany and the country they wish to obtain citizenship in before proceeding.
