Engaging Authority: Citizenship and Political Community aims to
explore how authority is entailed in different versions of
citizenship and political community. Who or what claims authority
in the name of "a people," and to what effect? What kind and scope
of authority is claimed? And who is held to be part of such a
community? Such questions have long been asked by scholars across
many disciplines. Engaging Authority brings together scholars from
anthropology, constitutional studies, cultural studies, politics,
political theory, sociology, and philosophy in a collaborative
project to develop a multifaceted understanding of citizenship in
political community. The volume begins with the premise that to
describe or identify oneself as a citizen entails a particular
relationship to authority. Citizens are understood to be members of
a community which we consider "political" in that members are
invoked, and may also be involved, in the business of governing.
How does this relationship function? How is community invoked by
those exercising authority, and in what senses do citizens partake
in its exercise? In this volume, the authors explore different
forms of the citizen's relationship to authority in political
community, across and beyond the variations that usually concern
scholars, such as the self-governing people, nation-states, popular
sovereignty, and democratic citizenship.
