{"product_id":"9780691292649","title":"Constitutional Patriotism - Jan-Werner Muller","description":"A powerful rethinking of citizenship and democratic belonging for a global ageConstitutional Patriotism offers a bold theory of citizenship and civic allegiance for today's culturally diverse liberal democracies. Rejecting conventional accounts of liberal nationalism and cosmopolitanism, Jan-Werner M�ller 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. M�ller'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�ller'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.","brand":"Jan-Werner Muller","offers":[{"title":"192 pages \/ 01\/12\/2026 \/ Nationalism","offer_id":57743598387575,"sku":"9780691292649","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780691292649.jpg?v=1794572484","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780691292649","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
