This important, theoretically sophisticated work explores the concepts of liberal democracy, citizenship and rights.This important, theoretically sophisticated work explores the concepts of li beral democracy, citizenship and rights. Grounded in critical original research, the book examines Australia's political and legal institutions, and traces the history and future of citizenship and the state in Australia.
