In person icon Changing Frames of Citizenship

Abstract

Citizenship means membership in a polity, but due to multilevel governance and many other international and sub-national transformation processes (regionalism, globalisation, changing relevance of nation states, mobility, EU), it is not clear, what and where the polity is. Due to changing contexts of citizenship, participation, rights and identity can be attached to various territorial and administrational layers. Citizens may act in many different frames, and public spheres can be formed around different issues. In this panel, we welcome contributions discussing various dimensions and contexts of citizenship. Empirical studies on dynamic and complex processes through which citizens' multiple relations to polities are constructed - by citizens themselves or by administration - are particularly welcome. The contributions may focus on formal definitions of citizenship, citizens’ experiences of it, political uses of different understandings of citizenship as well as connections between citizenship and democracy in the changing contexts.
