Session Type: Oral


Political theorists  provided  sets of expectations for the good citizen (Barber, 1984; Schattschneider, 1975; Warren 2001).  However, normative democratic theory tell us a little about everyday experience of citizenship and its  complex relationships to the state, market and forum.
This section welcomes papers applying different theoretical and empirical approaches with respect to everyday citizenship. In particular we are interested in the following themes:

  • What does it mean to be a “good” citizen nowadays?
  • What is a sense of political membership in a globalized world?
  • What are the consequences of citizenship for the effectiveness of the political system?
  • What can trajectories of development of citizenship be in the context of rapid marketization?
  • How civic norms and practices with respect to the good citizen are enacted and developed?
