Essay Prompts:
- How have processes of globalization transformed national cultures/identities, national politics, and national economies, creating what scholars have called a “crisis of citizenship” (Castles and Davidson 2000)? At the same time, how has globalization given rise to new movements of nationalism aiming to direct attention back toward national cultures/identities, politics, and economies?
