This edited volume explores the theoretical and practical
implications of war and terror situations for citizenship in
democratic states. Citizenship is a key concept in Western
political thought for defining the individual's relations with
society. The specific nature of these rights, duties and
contributions, as well the relations between them, are determined
by the citizenship discourses that prevail in each society. In
wartime, including low-intensity wars, democratic societies face
different challenges than the ones facing them during peacetime, in
areas such as human rights, the status of minorities, the state's
obligations to its citizens, and the meaning of social solidarity.
War situations can affect not only the scope of citizenship as an
institution, but also the relations between the prevailing
discourses of citizenship and between different groups of citizens.
Since 9/11 and the declaration of the 'war on terror', many
democracies have been grappling with issues rising out of the
interface between citizenship and war. This volume examines the
effects of war on various aspects of citizenship practice,
including: immigration and naturalization, the welfare state,
individual liberties, gender relations, multiculturalism, social
solidarity, and state - civil society relations. This book will be
of great interest to students of military studies, political
science, IR and security studies in general.
