Abstract

ABSTRACT Since the 1980s, rising Asia has opened up our understanding of liberal citizenship to the forces of a globalizing world economy. Previously, scholars have treated citizenship as an ideal type – a construct of politico-legal and spiritual elements – determined by the nation-state. My approach situates the unstable character of citizenship within the vicissitudes of global capitalism and competitive nations. By investigating citizenship not as a fixed construct, but as a contingent category subject to transnational forces, I emphasize the interaction of newcomers and nation-states in shaping the mutations of citizenship.

公民身份:灵活、可替代、脆弱

摘要自20世纪80年代以来，崛起的亚洲向全球化世界经济的力量开放了我们对自由公民的理解。此前，学者们将公民身份视为一种理想类型——一种由民族国家决定的政治、法律和精神元素构成的结构。我的方法将公民身份的不稳定特征置于全球资本主义和竞争国家的变迁中。通过调查公民身份不是一个固定的结构，而是一个受制于跨国力量的偶然类别，我强调了新来者和民族国家在塑造公民身份突变方面的互动。

期刊介绍： Citizenship Studies publishes internationally recognised scholarly work on contemporary issues in citizenship, human rights and democratic processes from an interdisciplinary perspective covering the fields of politics, sociology, history and cultural studies. It seeks to lead an international debate on the academic analysis of citizenship, and also aims to cross the division between internal and academic and external public debate. The journal focuses on debates that move beyond conventional notions of citizenship, and treats citizenship as a strategic concept that is central in the analysis of identity, participation, empowerment, human rights and the public interest.
