Abstract

Citizenship (Beiner, 1994; Clarke, 1994; Heater, 2004; Marshall, 1950, 1965) denotes membership of a polity, but it is more than a legal status in relation to a territorial political unit, for it constitutes a normative ideal that is manifest in a polity’s set of written or unwritten citizenship rights and obligations (see Chapman and Sage, 2002). Such rights and obligations may be defined as moral constructs that assign, according to Freeden (1991, 7), ‘priority to certain human or social attributes regarded as essential to the adequate functioning of a human being; that is intended to serve as a protective capsule for those attributes; and that appeals for deliberative action to ensure such protection.’
