It makes three contributions to the literature. First, against proponents and critics of neoliberalism who neglect the reinventions of citizenship under ‘neoliberalism’, it emphasises the politics of hope advanced by socially excluded people. Second, while sympathetic to the affective turn in citizenship it addresses what it believes to be its key limitations: a neglect of the care people expect from the state and the feelings of solidarity that remain central to citizenship. Third, by reflecting on the experience of neighbourhood in Sao Paulo, the paper challenges the overwhelming focus of the affective citizenship literature on the Global North by drawing on perspectives from a key city in the Global South.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"1135 - 1155"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44635038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Securitization and militarized quarantine of Roma settlements during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic in Slovakia","authors":"Svetluša Surová","doi":"10.1080/13621025.2022.2131070","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13621025.2022.2131070","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Recent analysis indicates that the coronavirus pandemic has disproportionately affected Roma people, amplified pre-existing exclusion, poverty, discrimination, and exposed marginalized Roma to vulnerability even more than before. This study explores the securitization and militarized quarantine of Roma settlements during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Slovakia. The study analyzes who, how and why securitized Roma communities? On what issues and for whom? With what result and under what conditions? The result of securitization, i.e. militarized quarantine of six Roma settlements is investigated in terms of legality, necessity, proportionality, and temporariness. The topic is approached from the perspective of political science. The study deploys a new institutionalism approach, securitization as an analytical frame, and qualitative research design. This includes a case study, elite interviews, and qualitative content analysis. The study concludes that, in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Slovakia, securitization took place instead of right-based discourse and a humanitarian approach towards the most vulnerable and socially excluded MRCs. Slovakia deployed heavily securitized responses towards Roma, targeting them selectively and collectively with anti-corona measures. Residents of six Roma settlements were exposed to the discrimination and most restrictive measures that the rest of the population did not face.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"1032 - 1062"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45095671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Afterword: citizenship in pandemic times","authors":"Trevor Stack","doi":"10.1080/13621025.2022.2131076","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13621025.2022.2131076","url":null,"abstract":"Though focused on the pandemic, the authors of this special issue all dwell on a longstanding concern of the field of Citizenship Studies: how citizenship has so often fallen short of what it seems to promise, even as it continues to inspire people to make demands on states. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights sets out what was in effect a blueprint for how states should treat their citizens, phrased in terms of political and civil rights, and then, and more controversially, in terms of social and economic rights, as well as cultural rights. Later treaties sought to stipulate how states should treat non-citizens in their territory, yet not all states have signed these, and even those that do have seldom made good on all their treaty obligations. International bodies including the UN are, meanwhile, deeply reluctant to prescribe when states are to admit people to citizenship in the first place, or to other statuses such as permanent residency. The pandemic – with its implications for health and well-being and for basic freedoms – brought sharply into perspective all these aspects of how states are to treat citizens and non-citizens alike. The authors demonstrate that non-citizens fared poorly in many contexts, although Bazurli and Campomoti observe that forced migrants’ treatment varied considerably across Italian regions, while Kim, Choi and Seol were surprised to find that undocumented migrants in South Korea received more attention than expected. Other authors find disparities in how states treated different groups of their own citizens. The Roma’s experience in Slovakia described by Surova is the most chilling, while Mookerjee recounts the ill-treatment of informal workers in India returning to their rural homes. It may transpire that marginal citizens received little better treatment than non-citizens in many global contexts. States’ ill-treatment of both non-citizens and marginal citizens was often applauded by citizens who considered them to be ill-deserving of state protection, blaming them for their own predicament or stigmatizing them as a source of contagion. The same citizens who objected vociferously to state surveillance on the population at large, often approved their states’ use of harsh measures that purported to contain the spread of the virus among and out of specific groups. Slovakia is again an example, where police and army were deployed to lock down Roma neighborhoods. Another is the US, where Hallett and Otero-Asmar record how an Ohio sheriff appealed to local voters by sub-contracting with ICE to detain and deport undocumented migrants, before and during the pandemic. This, too, is citizenship.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"1156 - 1158"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48808601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We define citizenship as a contested membership among all populations within the territory of a state, encompassing the status, rights, and performativity of the people. We look at changes in the citizenship of non-nationals, particularly the most vulnerable: undocumented migrants. Despite long-standing discrimination against undocumented migrants, the COVID-19 pandemic compelled the South Korean government to reconsider its policies on their citizenship rights. The government provided free tests and treatments, and free vaccinations to the undocumented migrants who had long been ignored in South Korea. It also suspended immigration crackdowns and deportations. While these COVID-19 preventive measures were intended to address community safety, they also affected the multifaceted nature of citizenship by making everybody within the territory both the subject and object of quarantine. Do these measures indicate an expansion of South Korean citizenship to include undocumented migrants? We discuss what implications the South Korean government’s pandemic-response policies may have for citizenship. With the increasing elasticity of citizenship boundaries in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, we claim that territorial aspects have been given greater emphasis in the politics of South Korean citizenship.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"1063 - 1075"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41950070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It analyzes the migrant as being bodily materialized through the denial of relationality, intercorporeality and the situational experiences of their bodies, at the intersections of labour and gender. It argues that citizenship in India is substantively an embodied experience as validated by the return movement of the migrants, whose suffering bodies stood out in the public eye, in sharp contrast to rest of the citizens who stayed locked in their homes to protect themselves from the COVID-19 virus as per government order. It concludes that the movement by migrants constitutes their ‘acts of citizenship’, through which they performatively negotiated their migrant identity resisting their embodied difference by enacting themselves as political subjects.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"1076 - 1090"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45059114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The potentials and limitations faced by sanctuary cities are evaluated through an analysis of municipal policies, peer-reviewed scholarship, and grey literature. In particular, I focus on three conceptual framings that are commonly associated with sanctuary city policies––sanctuary-as-defiance, sanctuary-as-protection, and sanctuary-as-inclusion––and ask: to what extent can these be observed in the discourses and actions of Canadian sanctuary cities? I find that while municipal access without fear policies do constitute valuable expressions of solidarity with residents without immigration status, municipalities have faced several challenges in living up to their expectations. I conclude by suggesting that we might look toward grassroots social movements, advocacy organizations, and community networks for examples of these fundamental commitments to defiance, protection, and inclusion.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"1 - 18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42681147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on 16 months of ethnographic research, this paper examines an under-researched element of youth citizenship and belonging; the role of spirituality. Informed by the works of anti-racist feminists and Indigenous scholars, this paper examines how youth draw on spirituality in their daily lives to cope with everyday oppressions. For these youth, spirituality intersects with their art and informs their sense of activism or what they refer to as ‘artivism’. This paper argues that spirituality can inform a type of citizenship that questions systemic injustices while simultaneously acknowledging the importance of self-care. It produces a form of inclusionary politics steeped in spiritual practices.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"124 - 144"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43738294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Marback","doi":"10.1080/13621025.2022.2131069","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13621025.2022.2131069","url":null,"abstract":"The global COVID pandemic that has already killed millions of people worldwide and has sickened many millions more continues to disrupt economies, displace communities, and compromise the safety and security of many already vulnerable populations. The scope and scale of strain imposed by the spread of COVID on resources of citizenship and community has followed a flow of local and global activities, well established before the pandemic, through which the status of citizenship has emerged, is sustained, and continues to be contested. For example, from the early stages of the pandemic in January 2020, governments across the world have made extensive use of state authority to close borders, restrict travel, and limit public gatherings, claiming legitimate use of this authority to slow the spread of the pandemic and protect their citizens. In response, some citizens have rallied against the tyranny of such restrictions, others have taken it upon themselves to denounce those who fail to heed restrictions, and still others have volunteered to aid struggling health services. Even though governments may have justified use of their power as responsible public health policy intended to slow the spread of COVID, the exercise of that power and the execution of those policies also either further hardened or established boundaries to benefit select citizens above all others. Closing borders and isolating communities has left migrants, indigenous populations, persons who are undocumented, and those who are incarcerated further burdened by intensified government restriction and left with no recourse to avoid exposure. In this regard, the pandemic has highlighted and exacerbated preexisting inequalities of race, gender, social class, and nationality through which citizenship is constructed and contested. When COVID emerged as a global health crisis, inequalities of race, class, gender, and nationality were already strained by the pre-pandemic rise of populism. Income inequality, political disaffection, and social divisions exacerbated by neoliberal policies allowed populist discontent to enter mainstream civic life in countries such as Brazil, Hungary, and the United States. Populist mistrust of liberal democratic governments, fueled by grievances of disaffection, bolstered authoritarianism and created opportunities for governments to use the pandemic to legitimate enhanced state surveillance of designated others. In their responses to the COVID pandemic, some governments mobilized and enhanced their surveillance activities, under the guise of public health, to further a nationalist agenda. In the most extreme case, China’s ‘zero Covid’ policy accelerated the country’s transition to a surveillance state.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"1027 - 1031"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42129109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing primarily on conceptual debates regarding bordering, the role of citizens in enacting the state, and (non)citizenship, it explores the ways in which transportation workers, as well as refugees, in their daily lives navigate the ever-expanding borders in the control-oriented Turkish asylum context. It argues that delegation of state power to citizens opens a space for noncitizens to exercise their right to mobility despite their lack of legal entitlement. On the other hand, such delegation removes the interactions from procedural safeguards and potentially harms refugees’ right claims. As a consequence, realization of refugees’ mobility claims depends significantly on how transportation workers understand and negotiate their assigned role as internal border agents within the ambivalent political and legal context of Turkey.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"1011 - 1026"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43669124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings suggest that judges construct asylum claims like citizens’ claims for welfare benefits and unlike protection claims made by citizens. Drawing on Hannah Arendt’s critique of the state-centric foundation of contemporary human rights framework, I demonstrate that the Swedish asylum procedure is structured according to a similar state-centric foundation. Therefore, it reinforces injustices that exist between those who belong to a political community and those who stand outside that community asking to be let in. This study contributes to previous research on asylum adjudication by shedding light on structural injustices embedded within legal practices rather than searching for explanations in extra-legal factors. The implication of this approach is that it makes visible a paradox: that judges’ commitment to procedural justice principles can perpetuate structural injustices.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"910 - 926"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45284685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
