Abstract

A person’s understanding of “Citizenship” is not only shaped by his or her relationship with a na-tion-state, but is also organized and shaped by non-state structures and cultural aspects. In the current situation, rural spaces are challenged in several dimensions. Examples include decreasing and aging rural populations, a lack of public service offerings, and structural shortcomings in the health system. These and other conditions affect not only peoples’ life situation, but also how their perception of the political system and how they experience themselves as citizens. This panel asks about rural citizens’ living conditions and their active engagement within the political community or their distancing from the political system.
