When Does Citizenship Serve as a (Political) Resource?

Abstract

This paper takes an institutional, policy, and governance approach to citizenship to ask when it can become a resource - and when a cost - for key political actors and democratic policy-making. It challenges normative assumptions of citizenship as a backdrop of equal and democratic institution by drawing attention to the many instances in which citizenship becomes selectively applied, instrumentalist and even exclusionary.
