Interest in citizenship has never been higher. Politicians of all stripes stress its importance, as do church leaders, captains of industry and every kind of campaigning group--from those supporting global causes, such as tackling world poverty, to others with a largely local focus, such as combating neighborhood crime. In this brilliant, compact introduction, Richard Bellamy offers an eye-opening look at an idea that is as important as it is rare--the prospect of influencing government policy according to reasonably fair rules and on a more or less equal basis with others. Bringing together the most recent scholarship, the book sheds light on how ideas of citizenship have changed through time from ancient Greece to the present, looks at concepts such as membership and belonging, and highlights the relation between citizenship, rights, and democracy. Bellamy also examines the challenges confronting the very possibility of citizenship today, the impact of globalization, the desirability of "global citizenship," the teaching of citizenship in schools, citizenship tests for immigrants, and the many different definitions and types of citizenship in modern society.

About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Works like a charm as long as you follow instructions. Great value for the price. I used the waterside decals to create custom memorial balloons and they turned out great. I received so many compliments and appreciation from the family. Would order again.

Works very well, easy to use, print great

This was my first time using this kind of decal and I found them to be pretty easy to use and effective. I followed the instructions and all of my projects turned out perfectly. Print quality was good and I had no issues with the ink drying. I bought this because my kids love Bluey (the animated show from Australia) so I wanted to make them some wooden Bluey coasters. I bought some 1/2 inch thick poplar stock from HD, cut it into 3.5 inch squares and sanded them smooth. I added a coat of acrylic clear and let that dry, then lightly sanded it so that the water would not raise the grain of the wood. I followed the instructions for these decals and printed them out on my Canon inkjet printer. I let them dry for about 10 minutes and then took the sheets outside and sprayed them with acrylic clear coat twice, with a few minutes between coats, as the can said. I did it again the next day for a total of 4 coats. I cut them out and the submerged one in filtered cool water. While it was submerged, I wiped a coaster with a bit of water. After 20-30 seconds, I took the decal out and placed it on the coaster and gently slid the decal off the paper a bit, then I grabbed the paper backing and slid it out while I held the decal in place. I adjusted it a bit and then smoothed it out and dabbed it lightly with a clean towel. I checked for bubbles and smoothed more with wet fingers, then I dried them again with a towel and let the whole thing dry overnight. The next day, I sprayed 2 coats of acrylic clear coat and the same again a day later. Then I added thin felt pads to the back to let them slide on the table. So far, they have held up well. The decals still look good and they aren't coming off. I did mess up one because I put on too thick a coat of acrylic by accident and it made the decal peel. One coaster was left with water on it overnight and there was no problem the next day when I wiped it off. Good coats of sealer are essential to seal the ink and the coaster, then the whole process seems to go well consistently. I had one or two decals in my second batch that ripped that were entirely my fault. You have to be gentle and I pulled too hard when repositioning the decal. For sure I will buy these again. They are great for small projects for personal use.
