Making European Citizens examines the forms of transnational
citizenship developing in Europe. Previous discussions have focused
on the construction of a European identity and the granting of
common European rights, but rarely explore whether citizens have
developed the capacity for self-rule. Active citizenship involves
more than simply voting. Citizens must be able to organize socially
and politically as well. Achieving such mobilization at a
transnational level may involve new democratic techniques and
skills. The volume explores how far European citizens have acquired
the requisite methods and qualities.
"Lineages of European Citizenship" provides an historical analysis
of the development of citizenship from the nineteenth to the
twentieth century in ten European countries and the USA. The
contributors focus on the role played by internal struggles for
social and political inclusion in shaping the character of both the
state and citizenship, and the deployment of two main political
languages, loosely associated with liberalism and republicanism, in
legitimizing citizens' claims.
