Autochthony myths served the creation of an identity that was culturally and politically meaningful to the people. Since the 430s the Athenians have brought the message of their autochthony across with a confidence and insistence that seem more than average. Around a decade after Pericles' Citizenship Law, the first indications emerge that the Athenians claimed to be 'autochthones'. A century after Pericles' Citizenship Law, being an exclusive elite had become a quality of all citizens of Athens.

The modern notion of citizenship is in crisis, and the question is if civil society can still fulfil its assumed historical mission as an organisational form that combines autonomy from the state with an ability to create bonds of trust and friendship across different groups of society? Or is the concept of civil society increasingly assuming a 'vernacular architecture' where it is an organisational form of collective action that reflects an environment of ontological uncertainty and nervousness, bordering on almost pure social angst. If civil society is becoming something else than what European history tells us in Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire and DR Congo this may have important implications for processes of state-building.
