The emergence of an expanded notion of citizenship -- cultural citizenship -- is examined. The development of citizenship rights is cumulative & uneven. While extension of social/welfare rights has recently been stymied, new cultural citizenship rights, including the rights to symbolic presence, dignifying representation, propagation of identity, & maintenance of lifestyles, have emerged. Global trends responsible for the emergence of interest in cultural citizenship in the contemporary era are highlighted: (1) weakening of the state; (2) the welfare system crisis; (3) the waning of classes; (4) proliferation of communication media; & (5) formation of new social & cultural movements.

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.
