This comprehensive Handbook gives an overview of the political,
social, economic and legal dimensions of citizenship in the Middle
East and North Africa from the nineteenth century to the present.
The terms citizen and citizenship are mostly used by researchers in
an off-hand, self-evident manner. A citizen is assumed to have
standard rights and duties that everyone enjoys. However,
citizenship is a complex legal, social, economic, cultural, ethical
and religious concept and practice. Since the rise of the modern
bureaucratic state, in each country of the Middle East and North
Africa, citizenship has developed differently. In addition, rights
are highly differentiated within one country, ranging from
privileged, underprivileged and discriminated citizens to
non-citizens. Through its dual nature as instrument of state
control, as well as a source of citizen rights and entitlements,
citizenship provides crucial insights into state-citizen relations
and the services the state provides, as well as the way citizens
respond to these actions. This volume focuses on five themes that
cover the crucial dimensions of citizenship in the region:
Historical trajectory of citizenship since the nineteenth century
until independence Creation of citizenship from above by the state
Different discourses of rights and forms of contestation developed
by social movements and society Mechanisms of inclusion and
exclusion Politics of citizenship, nationality and migration
Covering the main dimensions of citizenship, this multidisciplinary
book is a key resource for students and scholars interested in
citizenship, politics, economics, history, migration and refugees
in the Middle East and North Africa.
