But what of the politics of the everyday? This Element takes up this question, drawing together research from Colombia, South Africa, India, and Mexico. The authors argue that claim-making is a distinct form of citizenship practice characterized by its everyday nature, which is neither fully programmatic nor clientelistic; and which is prevalent in settings marked by gaps between the state's de jure commitments to rights and their de facto realization. Under these conditions, claim making is both meaningful (there are rights to be secured) and necessary (fulfillment is far from guaranteed). Claim-making of this kind is of critical consequence, both materially and politically, with the potential to shape how citizens engage (or disengage) the state.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Claimants and claim-making\u003cbr\u003e Claim-making conditions\u003cbr\u003e Claim-making consequences\u003cbr\u003e Conclusions and further directions\u003cbr\u003e Works cited.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Comparative politics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Comparative politics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Comparative%20politics%20%5BJPB%5D%22\"\u003eJPB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52415627821336,"sku":"9781009517812","price":52.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781009517812i.jpg?v=1784419631","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/claim-making-in-comparative-perspective-everyday-citizenship-practice-and-its-consequences-hardback-9781009517812","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
