The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship the World Over by Rita Simon, Alison Brooks

From the Publisher

"In this eleventh volume in The World Over series, Rita J. Simon and Alison Brooks examine and compare the rights and responsibilities of citizenship across twenty-one countries. In addition to reporting on the rights that citizens enjoy in these countries, such as the right to run for and hold public office, vote, obtain scholarships, and hold government positions, the authors also describe the responsibilities that are attached to the role of citizen - for example, to serve in the military, serve on a jury, and pay taxes." When available, Simon and Brooks report public opinion data on how proud respondents are of the country in which they are citizens, as measured by such variables as whether they would rather be a citizen of their country over any other country in the world, how proud they are of their country's political influence in the world, how democracy works in their country, and whether they believe they should support their country even if it is in the wrong.
