With extraordinarily acute discernment, the leading philosopher Étienne Balibar examines one by one the various faces of this object, more numerous - and far more fissured - than one would imagine. The question of what it means to be a citizen has, from the dawn of Western politics, been anything but clear and straightforward; and modernity has shown it to be even more enigmatic and contested.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInseparable from democracy, and the demands for equality and liberty from which democracy draws its origins, citizenship is constantly being redefined within the unresolved contradiction between universal principles and the discriminatory mechanisms that regulate membership of a political community.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNot everyone is a citizen, even within one nation-state. It has been said that ?certain persons are in society without being of society?. The dynamics of inclusion and exclusion continue to generate dramatic asymmetries and create openings and closures, especially today in a time of particular fragility and when national sovereignty is in flux. So are there too many antinomies within citizenship? Balibar does not shy away from these antimonies, but he knows that to renounce citizenship would be to abandon the chance to create new modes of collective autonomy, in short, to democratize democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDemocracy and Citizenship: An Antinomic Relationship\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAequa Libertas\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom Social Citizenship to the Social-National State\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCitizenship and Exclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Aporia of Conflictual Democracy\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNeo-Liberalism and De-Democratization\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDemocratizing Democracy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Philosophy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Philosophy%20%5BHP%5D%22\"\u003eHP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407336632600,"sku":"9780745682402","price":38.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745682402.jpg?v=1784163232","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/citizenship-hardback-9780745682402","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
