Concept Of Citizenship Research Articles

Kewarganegaraan dan Identitas

Citizenship and identity are two concepts that are interrelated but differ in their definition, role and influence on individuals and society. Citizenship gives a person legal status as an official member of a country, which is accompanied by legally enforceable rights and obligations. Meanwhile, identity is a more personal aspect, including factors such as culture, ethnicity, religion and language that shape an individual's identity. Citizenship and identity are two concepts that are closely related to each other in the context of modern state life. Both form an important foundation in understanding the relationship between the individual and the state and a person's position in society. The concept of citizenship not only includes legal-formal aspects, but also involves complex social, cultural and political dimensions. In the era of globalization, understanding of citizenship and identity is undergoing significant transformation. Increasing global mobility, cross-border migration, and developments in information technology have created more fluid and multilayered forms of identity. This challenges the traditional concept of citizenship which was previously limited to territorial ties and a single nationality. A more inclusive and adaptive approach is needed in understanding and managing the dynamics of citizenship and identity to create a more democratic and just society.

Right to Information in India: A Tool of Decentralised Democracy

The Right to Information (RTI) Act 2005 passed with great fanfare as a path-breaking legislation by the then government completed a journey of 19 years on 12th October, 2024. The Act empowered millions of people and kick-started their journey of an RTI application, evoking the concept of participatory citizenship. Without an iota of doubt, it can be said, ‘RTI has empowered the lay man to communicate directly with the public authority, squashing the practice of delivery of services by the authority, by challenging the practice of allotting the “middleman” the charge of disbursement of entitlements’ hence shifting from a ‘need based-approach to a rights-based approach to development. It has been observed through studies that the RTI has played an active role in checking public authority at the grassroots levels for any misappropriation of people’s money. However, the transformation in work culture, from secretive to openness, changing of minds of the public authorities as well as of the people, will definitely take a long time to bring RTI in practice to its full potential.

Educación en derechos humanos en la escuela: Aportes de las organizaciones sociales de base

This article analyzes the key factors that contributed to the development of human rights education, focusing on the role of grassroots social organizations in Bogotá, Colombia, between 1977 and 2007. The study is grounded in documentary and historical research, employing a socio-critical approach. This research addresses the issue of how human rights education in Colombia emerged from the convergence of two social forces that influenced the process of citizenship formation on one hand, the country sought to align its policies with international demands amid the Cold War and the establishment of the international human rights system. On the other, grassroots organizations spearheaded social movements that, in response to the State’s fragility, advanced demands for rights, particularly those related to social participation and access to essential services. The analysis reveals that collective political action, driven by organizational processes, forged new forms of learning and mobilization around rights. These practices encompassed solidarity, urban protest, collective resource management, and the struggle for the right to the city. Popular education served as a platform for promoting and activating judicial mechanisms to demand rights, employing participatory and reflective methodologies that resonated throughout the teaching and learning processes about rights within the school system.

정의적 시민성의 의미와 교육 방향 탐색

This study examined the meaning of affective citizenship and affective citizen, and explored the direction of affective citizenship education on the basis of this. The role of affective domain such as affect and emotion in citizenship tends to be neglected or focused on specific emotions such as positive emotions and patriotism. However, it is important how to feel about the state or community as a citizen, not just about legal rights or status in citizenship. The term “affective” is used to include affect, emotions, and feelings, and the affective plays an important role in the formation of citizenship. Understanding affective citizenship requires the aspect of civic identity through emotion, the aspect of governing through affect, and the critical, transformative aspect. In addition, affective citizen is being who acknowledges the needs and desires of other citizens, deals with public issues through relationships and cooperation, practices through emotions, becomes relational citizens entangled with all beings, and has critical reflections on what she feels. For affective citizenship education, it was suggested that citizens perceive themselves as affective citizens, feel, critically analyze, and transform various emotions related to citizenship as performative citizens.

중학교 글로벌 역량 교육 내용요소 도출을 위한 연구: PISA 2018 글로벌 역량 평가를 중심으로

Ahead of introduction of revised 2022 National Curriculum for middle schools in 2025, research has been actively investigating how to align international academic achievement results with the curriculum. While agreeing on the necessity of implementing the global education agenda, there was a tendency to be passive in dealing with the concepts of global citizenship and global competency at a general level and in systematizing the content based on the results of assessments. The research draws from the PISA 2018 global competence assessment, specifically selecting key elements related to Global Citizenship Education (GCED). To analyze the impact of GCED on global competence, structural equation modeling was applied to student-level data from Republic of Korea(ROK)'s PISA 2018 assessment. The study explored the mediating effect of students’ agency regarding global issues, examining how GCED influences sub-elements of global competence. The analysis revealed three global competences that were most strongly associated with effective GCED practices: cognitive adaptability, interest in learning about other cultures, and awareness of global issues. These competences were selected as major elements for organizing content elements for the integrated curriculum beyond the transformative level.

The Taxpayer Netizen: understanding Fiscal Citizenship in the digital era

This article analyses the trajectory of the conception of citizenship from the classical tradition to the modern version, in light of fiscal roles in Western liberal States. The discussion reveals how, in the post-War period, taxation has become the key factor of the modern State’s economic platform, changing the perception of citizens’ duties. Such a change goes beyond conventional voting and other forms of political engagement to new civic responsibility known as fiscal citizenship. Within this conceptual framework, citizens relinquish rights, such as access to public services, in return for duties – the most significant being the obligation to pay taxes, thus creating a new type of association between the individual and the State. The article also analyses the consequences of digitization on this emergent form of citizenship. Since governance and citizen activities are increasingly shifting towards digital space, tax payments and fiscal compliance are simultaneously moving to the online domain. This shift has led to the appearance of the ‘netizen’ taxpayer, defined as a digital citizen who mainly interacts with the State in the digital environment. In this context, we aim to understand how digitization affects citizens’ understanding of their rights and obligations as regards an integrated and globalized digital economy. Problems and prospects of this process are considered, especially in relation to governance and economic equity. Big Tech and the digital economy have led to substantial generation of wealth, giving rise to questions concerning equitable redistribution. The concept of ‘digital redistribution’ is thus identified as a key area of governance requiring formulation of policies that guarantee that the advantages of the digital economy are not monopolized. The article concludes by examining the extent to which traditional assumptions about civic identity, rights and responsibilities are impacted by the interplay between fiscal and digital citizenship.

Global citizenship and the geographical scale of young people’s political engagement

In recent years, the concept of global citizenship has been widely incorporated into educational programmes worldwide, ranging from primary schools to higher education. Nevertheless, scholars in the field of political geography have tended to view this concept as less relevant to young people’s political engagement. Based on this foundation, this paper discusses how notions of geographical scale can offer a more comprehensive understanding of global citizenship education. The discussion focuses on identifying descriptive and pragmatic/normative conceptions of global citizenship. The paper concludes by suggesting that research on the political geographies of young people can contribute to a critical approach to global citizenship education by offering an alternative to conventional notions of the geographical scale as a hierarchical organisation of society.

Citizenship Training in the Military Colleges of the State of GoiásCitizenship Training in the Military Colleges of the State of Goiás

Objective: The objective of this article is a reflection on the civic education offered in the Military Schools of the State of Goiás. Theoretical Framework: Education is permeated by uncertainties, injustices, lack of political, professional, and familial commitment, indiscipline, scarcity of financial resources, violence, drug trafficking, observations that, among others, influence its low quality, and serve as pretexts for the increasing militarization of public schools in our State. Methods: Within the limits of an article, the study has an exploratory nature, with document analysis, without a strong concern for exhaustive analyses. Results and Discussion: In this journey, the term militarization presents a counterpoint to the education currently sought, as on a global and national level it is directly related to the fundamental principles of human dignity, being enshrined in our Constitution as preparatory for the exercise of citizenship. According to Santos (1987, p. 7 apud BRZEZINSKI; SANTOS, 2015, p. 14), "In the field of rhetoric, the concept of citizenship is one of the most proclaimed, announced, and promised, but, in the field of facts, it is also one of the most neglected," often being a citizen implies the concept of one's own human existence with dignity, a right denied by the apparatus of the State to those who constitute the very State. Implications of the research: Thus arises the interest in understanding how this education defined in the normative acts of the military corporation, which has as its motto "School, civism, and citizenship" and presents as its main objective "to form participative, reflective, and autonomous citizens of their rights and obligations," a slogan that aligns with constitutional principles, but at the same time opposes them, with impositions of military norms and values on the entire school community, infringing upon the principles that govern public school and quality education for all. Originality/Value: This research's relevance and value are evidenced by its provision of dialectical elements between civic and democratic education and military training.

The Relevance of Contemporary Citizenship with Derek Heater's Philosophical Thinking

The concept of citizenship is important in the study of political science and will continue to develop along with world developments. Derek Heater in his work entitled "What is Citizenship" explains two concepts of citizenship that are commonly known to the public, namely including liberal and republican ideology plus 1 concept related to dual citizenship. The relevance of existing concepts of citizenship to contemporary issues is currently the focus of research. Every concept and its application in countries in the world is driven by critical thinking and great turmoil in the process of comparison and consideration of how to use this understanding for a long time. The research method used is qualitative research with a literature study approach. The literature study was carried out by reducing primary data, namely the work of Derek Heater entitled "What is Citizenship" which was juxtaposed and strengthened by secondary data according to the study topic, namely the concept of citizenship studies. Different concepts of citizenship influence views on the relationship between the individual and the state, as well as political and social rights within the ideals of statehood.

Citizenship in Lithuanian Lexicographical Sources, Youth Worldview, and Media Texts

The concept of citizenship (civic sense) has not yet fully crystallised, which is why different aspects are emphasised in academic literature and public discourse. Attempts are made to compare and associate it with other concepts, such as nationality or patriotism, which are often used synonymously in various contexts. From a linguistic perspective, the concept of citizenship has not been thoroughly examined. Therefore, the aim of this article is to explore the concept of citizenship in Lithuanian dictionaries, public media texts, and the responses of young people to the question: What does citizenship mean to you? The concept of citizenship is closely related to another concept—namely, the state—where legal, cultural, social, and political elements are interconnected. The state provides its citizens with rights and duties, and a citizen must be able to use and defend the rights and freedoms granted, as well as actively participate in public life with the ultimate goal of contributing to the well-being of Lithuania. Students emphasise that the concept is complex and involves not only an individual’s relationship with the state but also relationships between people. However, both in youth responses and in public discourse, the key aspect is that citizenship is seen as a value, the components of which are reflected in its cognitive definition. Despite the introductory thoughts stating that citizenship and patriotism are not identical, for young people these concepts are intertwined and share many common aspects. In public discourse, there is a strong emphasis on the importance of nurturance of citizenship, which requires continuous effort. As a result, various initiatives, competitions, lessons, and programs are offered. The research concludes that the cognitive definition of citizenship embraces respect for the state, its language, symbols, history, culture, and traditions, as well as for other citizens and differing opinions; a duty to the state (defence, involvement in public life, voting, paying taxes, restraining misbehaviour); working for the state; love for the country; and self-sacrifice for it. Typically, the meaning of a word is looked up in dictionaries regarded as the most reliable lexicographical sources. The study shows that there is a need to expand dictionary definitions or elaborate on this concept in the upcoming “Dictionary of Standard Lithuanian”, so that society can recognize the broader content of the concept of citizenship. It is agreed that citizenship is a cultivated value, and its content heavily depends on who is involved in the educational process. Therefore, it is essential for linguists and language institutions to engage in the citizenship development program so that young people can see that citizenship is not just about defence; it also includes language, as well as cultural and ethnic aspects.

Conceptualisations of Citizenship among Educational Stakeholders in Newly Independent Madagascar

After independence from France in 1960, there were different views on how to educate newly independent Malagasy citizens. This article asks what kinds of citizenship was to be promoted and to whom should Malagasies learn to be loyal as citizens of their village, the newly independent nation, and a global world. Through a framework for critical citizenship education and perspectives on citizenship and transloyalities, this article analyses national, international, public, and private (religious) conceptualizations of citizenship education post-independence. The analysis is based on four reports: a 1960 Protestant conference report, a 1963 UNESCO mission report, a government document from 1964, and a 1968 report from a student organization conference. The analysis reveals that different stakeholders within newly independent Malagasy education promoted different conceptualizations of citizenship, some more critical than others.

Being Malaysian: The Role and Challenges of Citizenship Education

Citizenship Education in Malaysia is a product of social fragmentation that carries legal and sociological meanings. This paper aims to pull together citizenship and education as central themes, not legal but the sociological aspects, with ‘nation-of-intent’ as a conceptual framework. However, the present effort of citizenship education in Malaysia is based on a particular form of ‘nation-of-intent’ (‘Bangsa’ Malaysia). The concept of citizenship and citizenship education in Malaysia is prompting only one form of ‘nation-of intent’ available in the country, whereas there are other nations as well, apparently. The presence of plurality of ‘nation-of-intent’ in contemporary Malaysia demonstrates the fact that dissenting voices are present and heard, within and without government. Therefore, in the context of different ‘nation-of-intent’s which exist, there is a need to explore and clarify what being ‘Malaysian’ means in its true context.

Limits and prospects of corporate citizenship. A specific conceptual perspective

AbstractThe concept of corporate citizenship as a form of corporate social responsibility theory challenged the traditionally accepted socio‐economic division of labor between government and corporations. Although the concept has been around for decades, its validity and applicability are still a matter of debate, with attention to the “chameleon” nature of the concept. Therefore, this paper defines and applies a conceptual framework to examine whether corporate social and political engagement is necessary and, if so, in what form it is beneficial for both the company and society. This is the objective of the present study. The method used in this paper is critical analysis, i.e. the evaluation of arguments both pro and con, and the comparison of these arguments with empirical evidence within the defined conceptual framework. The study shows that the demand for corporate activism is contradictory, so companies need to determine whose interests they represent or balance between different expectations. In addition to analyzing and evaluating corporate activism from a specific conceptual framework, the novelty of the study lies in its differentiated approach to corporate citizenship according to the scope of the companies and in the corresponding proposal for a new socio‐economic division of labor between governments and corporations.

Ministério Público interagente como instrumento de superação do paradigma da cidadania sacrificial

The author Wendy Brown develops in her works the concept of sacrificial citizenship, correlating it with neoliberalism and the reduction of citizenship as a responsible investment in oneself. In this article, we seek to investigate to what extent the adoption of an Interagent Public Attorney’s Office, corroborates the overcoming of the paradigm of sacrificial citizenship and the strengthening of a participatory and inclusive democracy. In conclusive terms, the National Policy of Incentive to Self-composition within the scope of the Public Attorney’s Office is understood as an opportunity for rapprochement between parquet and civil society, with the opening of public spaces for dialogue.
