This book examines the political ideas and activism of nine 'global citizens', Australian intellectuals and activists who interpret, adapt and promote political ideas, emphasising the global community to which Australians belong. It is the first extensive analysis of the impact of global citizenship on Australian politics and society.
Against a backdrop of advancing neoliberalism and globalisation, this timely book examines nine prominent Australians from diverse backgrounds - ''global citizens'' who have each enhanced public life through promoting universal values and human rights. The book charts over 50 years of campaigning, and espouses perennial causes such as peace, social justice, ecological sustainability and gender and racial equality. Ultimately, this inspiring volume sends a message of hope for Australian society and provides a benchmark for all proponents of change.
