| Summary: | Citizenship, which may be defined as equal membership of a political community
from which enforceable rights and obligations, benefits and resources,
participatory practices and a sense of identity flow, affects everyone. More than
any other institution, it impacts upon our public and private life by shaping the
way we behave, informing how we can live together and determining what we
should expect from the state and other institutions. But citizenship is not
confined to the realm of the real. It also encompasses a future-oriented, rather
aspirational, dimension; namely, cognitive and normative ideas about what is
possible and, perhaps, desirable for socio-political relations. Poised between
the real and the ideational, citizenship can thus be both an instrument for
maintaining the status quo and an invitation to social and political change. |
