The Practice of Global Citizenship

Field research for the Practice of Global Citizenship included more than 250 in-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews with border enforcement agents, anti-immigration activists, immigration-rights activists and unauthorized immigrants in the United States, northern and southern Mexico, Spain (including Ceuta in N. Africa), Brussels, the UK and Ireland. In addition, the book draws on original research by the author and a colleague involving formal surveys on immigration issues administered to more than 300 subjects, and subsequent quantitative analysis of the data. Both the qualitative and quantitative findings fundamentally informed the book's normative arguments on global citizenship. It was recognized with the 2011 Yale H. Ferguson Award from the International Studies Assocation-Northeast, for its contribution to promoting the use of plural methods in political science/international relations.
