At the beginning of the twenty-first century the consequences of
fundamental global economic, political, social and cultural
transformations that have been underway for decades challenge
modern citizenship. There can be no doubt that modern citizenship
can no longer operate as it did in the second half of the twentieth
century. Neither the politico-economic foundation nor the idea of
political participation nor formerly clear-cut boundaries or the
Western idea of peaceful deliberation about citizens' rights can be
taken for granted any longer. All over the world the rights of
citizens have come under enormous pressure. This is true in the
face of an extreme asymmetry of power between organised economic
interests and citizens that try to defend once achieved standards
of living; it is also true given new political centres of
decision-making that are beyond the control of citizens; it is true
for newly emerging boundaries that are mobilised in order to
re-define arrangements of inclusion and exclusion; finally, it is
true for growing resistance among the citizenries and violent
upheavals against both autocratic and declining democratic regimes
such as France and Great Britain. Against this background The
Transformation of Citizenship addresses the basic question of how
we can make sense of citizenship in the twenty-first century. These
volumes make a strong plea for a reorientation of the sociology of
citizenship and address serious threats of an ongoing erosion of
citizenship rights. Arguing from different scientific perspectives,
rather than offering new conceptions of citizenship as supposedly
more adequate models of rights, membership and belonging, they deal
with both the ways citizenship is transformed and the ways it
operates in the face of fundamentally transformed conditions.
