Against the background of unease at the increasingly loose and
conflictual relationship between citizenship and governance, this
book brings together rich, ethnographic studies from EU member
states and post-Communist and Middle-Eastern countries in the
Mediterranean Region to illustrate the crisis of legitimacy
inherent in the weakening link between political responsibility and
trust in the exercise of power. With close attention to the impact
of the ambiguities and distortions of governance at the local level
and their broader implications at the international level, where a
state's legitimacy depends on its democratic credentials,
Citizenship and the Legitimacy of Governance initiates a
comparative discussion of the relationship between established
moralities, politics, law and civil society in a highly diversified
region with a strong history of cultural exchange. Demonstrating
that a comparative anthropological analysis has much to offer to
our understanding, this volume reveals that the city is a crucial
arena for the renegotiation of citizenship, democracy and
belonging.
