Global Governance Considerations for World Citizenship

Nada Kakabadse and Andrew Kakabadse

Chapter 2 in Citizenship, 2009, pp 24-48 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Citizenship is a dynamic concept! The citizenship experience fluctuates between concerns for status and the reality of praxis, and in so doing, engenders certain dilemmas for the individual. There exists the dilemma between equality and uniqueness, couched as universalism and particularism, where the former requires assimilation/homogenization (i.e. national citizenship) and the other group, identity (i.e. tribalism). A further dilemma is that between the passive or private citizen (the top-down state option) and the active or public citizenship (in terms of local participatory action or institutions) involving bottom-up, grass roots, political discourse. A third dilemma views citizenship as a tense interaction between the values and demands of the public and the private arenas within civil society.
