It is widely accepted that corporations have economic, legal, and even social roles.

Yet the political role of corporations has yet to be fully appreciated.

Corporations and Citizenship serves as a corrective by employing the concept of citizenship in order to make sense of the political dimensions of corporations.

Citizenship offers a way of thinking about roles and responsibilities among members of polities and between these members and their governing institutions.

Crane, Matten and Moon provide a rich and multi-faceted picture that explores three relations of citizenship - corporations as citizens, corporations as governors of citizenship, and corporations as arenas of citizenship for stakeholders - as well as three contemporary reconfigurations of citizenship - cultural (identity-based), ecological, and cosmopolitan citizenship.

The book revolutionizes not only our understanding of corporations but also of citizenship as a principle of allocating power and responsibility in a political community.
