When digital technologies become a part of everyday life in most parts of society, it changes the way we work, organize, communicate, and make relations. It also changes the relationship between the state and its citizens - a relationship usually conceptualized as citizenship. To capture this transformation, a new concept of digital citizenship has emerged. The overall purpose of this paper is to overcome the fragmentation of knowledge about how citizenship is transformed into digital citizenship through a systematic review of the academic literature on the concept of digital citizenship. The literature review identifies four streams of literature in the academic landscape of digital citizenship, and by a content analysis, it outlines the many dimensions and facets of digital citizenship. In this way, the literature review offers a comprehensive picture of both the impacts of the digital transformation on citizenship and the concept within the academic debate.

Using the distinction that Richard Ashley and Rob Walker drew in 1990 between two possible critical responses to crisis and the question of sovereignty, this article argues that two strands of thought can be identified, each producing a different understanding of what it means to become a citizen in Ireland. One strand articulates citizenship in terms of sovereign autonomous subjectivity, and thus in terms of horizontal or territorial relations between here and there, us and them, inside and outside. The other strand (re)articulates citizenship in terms of ambiguous paradoxical subjectivity that challenges the modern framing of the politics of citizenship as necessarily needing to be conceptualized in terms of absolute space. This divergence is explored through the 2004 Irish Citizenship Referendum. The concept of citizenship as trace is introduced in an attempt to capture how citizenship is reconceptualized differently in the second strand. It is argued that understanding this divergence is necessary in order to consider how classical conceptions of time and space are specifically integral to structures of sovereign power and how perspectives that take these as their starting point fail to account for the increasing emphasis on the nonsovereign manner in which citizenship is being experienced vis-a-vis migration.

Der Beitrag zu Corporate Citizenship (CC) liefert, ausgehend von einem systemtheoretischen Ansatz, eine theoretische Einordnung des Untersuchungsgegenstandes. Dabei betont der Autor das Eindringen der Gesellschaft in die Unternehmen und damit auch die Notwendigkeit für letztere, sich gesellschaftlichen Fragen und gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung zu stellen. Der Aspekt der Unterbestimmung des Begriffs von CC wird hier zum Anlass genommen, um der Attraktivität und den funktionalen Vorteilen des Konzepts von CC aus Unternehmensperspektive auf die Spur zu kommen. Die Fragestellung wird mit Textpassagen aus Publikationen des Landes NRW und Materialen eines nordrhein-westfälischen Wettbewerbs zu CC illustriert. Aus der Sicht zweiter Ordnung wird beobachtet, wie das Konzept CC dargestellt wird. Dazu wird auf die an N. Luhmann orientierten differenztheoretischen Überlegungen zur 'Form des Unternehmens' von D. Baecker zurückgegriffen, der sich auf die 'Laws of Form' G. Spencer Browns bezieht. Diese lassen sich für den hier thematisierten Zusammenhang folgendermaßen zusammenfassen: Die Bestimmung des Unternehmens erfolgt durch Kommunikation aus der Differenz von System und Umwelt: Die Form des Unternehmens ist eine Unterscheidung mit zwei Seiten. Die Operation der Unterscheidung oszilliert zwischen Selbst- und Fremdreferenz. Auf dieser systemtheoretischen Grundlage werden folgende Punkte erörtert: (1) der Wettbewerb ENTERPReis zu CC in NRW 2005, (2) Corporate Citizenship und Verantwortung, (3) CC und Citizenship, (4) die Politik als Vermittler von CC, (5) die Kritik an Corporate Citizenship sowie (6) das Wertedilemma beim Konzept von CC. CC-Konzepte bringen demnach eine Fragilität mit, die Unternehmen in produktive Unruhe versetzen kann. Unerwartete Rückbindungseffekte, denen auch die CC-freundliche Politik ausgesetzt ist, gehören stets zum Setting von CC, denn gerade kommunikative Mischwesen sind für Überraschungen gut, da sie die möglichen Optionen auf der Innenseite von Systemen erhöhen.

Spatial Citizenship Education is an innovative exploration of ways to engage and promote citizenship through a deeper understanding of spatial and geographic perspectives. The authors propose that recognizing the relationship between space and citizenry enables productive and positive engagement with important societal issues such as equity, justice, and environmental stewardship. By providing a historical overview of geography's contribution to citizenship education, including progress made and challenges faced by educational reform movements, this collection shows how geography can contribute to a new type of citizen--one with an enhanced understanding of the world as seen through the key concepts of geography: space, place, scale, power, and human-environment relationships. Through a theoretical explanation of key citizenship ideas, and by providing practical, classroom-based teaching tools, this volume will be essential for geography education researchers and social studies educators alike.
