The emergence of citizenship, some 4,000 years ago, was a hinge
moment in human history. Instead of the reign of blood descent,
questions regarding who rules and who belongs were opened up. Yet
purportedly primordial categories, such as sex and race, have
constrained the emergence of a truly civic polity ever since.
Untying this paradox is essential to overcoming the crisis
afflicting contemporary democracies. Why does citizenship emerge,
historically, and why does it maintain traction, even if in
compromised forms? How can citizenship and democracy be revived?
Learning from history and building on emerging social and political
developments, David Jacobson and Manlio Cinalli provide the
foundations for citizenship's third revolution. Citizenship: The
Third Revolution considers three revolutionary periods for
citizenship, from the ancient and classical worlds; to the
flourishing of guilds and city republics from 1,000 CE; and to the
unfinished revolution of human rights from the post-World War II
period. Through historical enquiry, this book reveals the
underlying principles of citizenship-and its radical promise.
Jacobson and Cinalli demonstrate how the effective functioning of
citizenship depends on human connections that are relational and
non-contractual, not transactional. They illustrate how rights,
paradoxically, can undermine as well as reinforce civic society.
Looking forward, the book documents the emerging foundations of a
"21st century guild" as a basis for repairing our democracies. The
outcome of this scholarship is an innovative re-conceptualization
of core ideas to engender more authentic civic collectivities.
