The book investigates the intersection of citizenship, civil
society, and development in today's global world. The
multi-disciplinary collection considers the notion of citizenship
in connection with the neoliberal development agendas,
participation, security discourses and legal environments. The
contributions analyse the development-citizenship nexus grounded in
empirical work in African, Latin American, European and global
contexts. The book opens exciting avenues to reflect on the notion
of citizenship and explores the following pertinent questions: Does
citizenship matter for development research? Do international
development policy and practice promote certain normative registers
for how people should make sense of their social relations and, in
particular, how they relate to public authorities? What are their
responses? Contributors from various academic backgrounds, such as
anthropology, law, and political science, affirm the importance of
citizenship for the study of contemporary development processes.
Chapters provide empirical analysis of the processes of water
privatization in Ghana, the promulgation of new 'NGO Law' in
Ethiopia, environmental politics in former Yugoslavia, and the
global interconnections between the Arab Spring and the Occupy Wall
Street movement. The book is relevant for students and scholars of
political science and development studies as well as development
practitioners globally. This book was published as a special issue
of the Journal of Civil Society.
