Description
Subject Area: Sociology and Anthropology
This course can also be studied in the following specialisation: Australian Studies
This course examines citizenship and forms of engagement in civil society from theoretical perspectives and through empirical case studies. Citizenship is explored as a tool for social exclusion; for setting policy; and as a model of political participation. Beginning with the concept of citizenship as establishing the boundary of a political community, the course characterizes new understandings of rights and obligations attached to citizenship; transnational, gendered, cosmopolitan. Students are introduced to the concept of civil society through historical case studies. The course explores the debates on the decline of civic participation and solidarity and the emergence of global civil society.
