Political Culture and Citizenship in Urban and Rural Studies

Abstract

Political participation has developed with different traditions and dynamics in urban and rural contexts. The concept of “Citizenship” itself has been substantially influenced by this dichotomy of urban vs. rural. However, political culture has been essential for traditional (rural) as well for new (urban) communities to achieve a sense of individual and group participation which is based on the very sensitive relationship between the individual/group and the institutions, customs, and public policy. It is the political culture which actually emphasizes in this context the real capacity of some community (small or large, advanced or traditional) to aggregate its resources (human and non-human resources) to the aim of political participation, collective action, or policy decision-making.
