In today's world, citizenship is increasingly defined in normative
terms. Political belonging comes to be equated with specific norms,
values and appropriate behaviour, with distinctions made between
virtuous, desirable citizens and deviant, undesirable ones. In this
book, we analyze the formulation, implementation, and contestation
of such normative framings of citizenship, which we term
'citizenship agendas'. Some of these agendas are part and parcel of
the working of the nation-state. Other citizenship agendas,
however, are produced beyond the nation-state. The chapters in this
book study various sites where the meaning of 'the good citizen' is
framed and negotiated in different ways by state and non-state
actors. We explore how multiple normative framings of citizenship
may coexist in apparent harmony, or merge, or clash. The different
chapters in this book engage with citizenship agendas in a range of
contexts, from security policies and social housing in Dutch cities
to state-like but extralegal organizations in Jamaica and
Guatemala, and from the regulation of the Muslim call to prayer in
the US Midwest to post-conflict reconstruction in Lebanon. This
book was previously published as a special issue of Citizenship
Studies.
