Traditional statist approaches to citizenship emphasize the rights & duties of individuals as members of bounded sovereign communities, & deny that citizenship has any meaning when detached from the sovereign nation-state. Theorists in the Kantian tradition have used the idea of world citizenship to refer to obligations to care about the future of the whole human race. Here, this approach is extended by arguing for a dialogic conception of cosmopolitan citizenship. What distinguishes this approach is the claim that separate states & other actors have an obligation to give institutional expression to the idea of a universal communication community that reflects the heterogeneous character of international society. 59 References.

The author discusses the issue of citizenship in American culture & politics, against social changes eg, globalization, & the free flow of information, & multi-cultural states. The author sees citizenship as in crisis, yet of such force that it will not yield other kinds of "affiliation, identity, legal membership, & political agency." Such thinking understates the role that nations are playing in the process of multiple affiliations, dynamic migrations, & fluid legal identities. He argues that the crisis of citizenship needs to be situated amid changes of political ideology & the exhaustion of social democracy, welfare liberalism, & conservativism. As the ideological frames of Euro-American politics weakens, the nation still serves as the source of new transnational energy. Citizenship is the mechanism for organizing political membership & structuring goals for change; it is the mortar of new policies regarding immigration & education & political access. 58 References.

Abstract
This introductory paper to our first issue provides reflection on the concept of critical global citizenship at both theoretical and practical levels. We maintain that 'citizenship', irrespective of its level of articulation (i.e. national, international, global, etc.) remains an issue that reflects a status, a feeling and practices that are intrinsically interlinked. As a legal status, formal citizenship allows individuals to form a sense of belonging within a political community and, therefore, empowers them to act and perform their citizenship within the spatial domains of the nation-state. Critical global citizenship, asks these same individuals not so much to neglect these notions of belonging and practice to a particular locale, but to extend such affinities beyond the territorial boundaries of their formal national membership and to think critically and ethically about their local, national and global relationship with those who are different from themselves. Making a case for a critical global citizenship, however, also requires acknowledging material inequalities that affect the most vulnerable (i.e. migrants, asylum seekers, those experiencing poverty, etc.) and which mean that efforts to cultivate global citizenship orientations to address social injustice are not enacted on an even playing field. As such, a critical global citizenship approach espouses a performative citizenship that is at once democratic and ethical, as well as being aimed at achieving social peace and sustainable justice, but which is also affected by material conditions of inequality that require political solutions and commitment from individuals, states, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and civil society organisations.

Since the 1990s, citizenship has been transformed into an anthropological genre. Anthropologists have employed terms such as "transnational," "insurgent," and "patriotic" to describe the subjective, cultural, and political dimensions of citizenship. Anthropologists have also differentiated between formal and substantive, legal and cultural, and full and partial citizenship to theorize the disjunction between the promise of state-granted rights and everyday experiences of belonging to a nation-state. And, with increasing mobilities, anthropologists have reconceptualized the politics of exclusion that underlies state policies aimed at undocumented migrants. Now more than ever, anthropology is needed in the study of citizenship and noncitizenship both to illuminate the particulars of how social actors navigate national belonging and to rescue citizenship from state policies aimed at exclusion, death, and the diminution of rights.
