Citizenship: Key Ideas in Geography

Autor Richard Yarwood
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 dec 2013
The idea of citizenship is widely used in daily life. ‘Citizenship tests’ are used to determine who can inhabit a country; ‘citizen charters’ have been used to prescribe levels of service provision; ‘citizens’ juries’ are used in planning or policy enquiries; ‘citizenship’ lessons are taught in schools; youth organisations attempt often aim to instil ‘good’ citizenship; ‘active citizens’ are encouraged to contribute voluntary effort to their local communities and campaigners may use ‘citizens’ rights’ to achieve their goals. What is meant by citizenship is never static and the subject of debate by academics, politicians and activists. These ideas are manifest and contested at a range of different scales.
This book therefore argues geography is crucial to understanding citizenship. The text is organised around a number of spatial themes to examine how spatialities of citizenship are played out at a range of scales. Ideas about locality, boundaries, mobility, networks, rurality and globalisation are used to reveal the importance of space and place in the constitution, contestation and performance of citizenship. In doing so, the book reveals how different ideas of citizenship can include or exclude people from society and space. Consideration is given to ways in which different groups have sought to empower themselves through various actions associated with and beyond conventional notions of citizenship.
Written in an accessible way with detailed case studies to illustrate conceptual ideas and approaches, this book offers social scientists new spatial perspectives on citizenship while also bridging together strands of social, cultural and political geography in ways that deepen understandings of people and place.

Descriere

Citizenship is contested and re-produced across a range of spaces, be they neighbourhoods, nation states, symbolic public places, institutional spaces or private spaces. Boundaries (imagined or real) are frequently used to determine who is or is not seen as a citizen, particularly at the level of the nation state. This book examines how the spatialities of citizenship are played out at a range of scales, from the transnational to the home, to reveal the importance of space and place to citizenship. This geographical viewpoint will offer social scientists new spatial perspectives on citizenship and geographers a way of bridging social, political and cultural aspects of the geography. The book is an advanced textbook that will appeal to undergraduate and Masters-level students studying geography, politics, sociology, history and other social sciences.
