Responsibility, participation and choice are key policy framings of
active citizenship, summoning the citizen to take on new roles in
welfare state reform. This volume traces the emergence of new
discourses and the ways in which they take up and rework struggles
of social movements for greater independence, power and control. It
explores the changing cultural and political inflections of active
citizenship in Germany, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, France,
Italy and the UK, with ethnographic research complementing policy
analysis. The editors then look across the volume to assess some of
the tensions and contradictions arising in the turn to active
citizenship. Two final chapters address the reworking of
citizen/professional relationships and the remaking of public,
private and personal responsibilities, with a particular focus on
the contribution of feminist research and theory.
