The National contexts of post-national citizenship
Zeit: Montag, 12.12.2016 um 17.00 Uhr (s.t.)
Ort: SR 15.39, RESOWI-Zentrum, G3 (Institut für Soziologie)
Zum Vortrag:
Results of empirical research about the changing concept of citizenship in the
process of globalisation, which has been extensively discussed in social science
literature, are presented. The main research goal of the analysis is to discover the
conditions in which elements of post-national citizenship are most likely to occur.
The analysis is based on aggregated individual (survey) data (from the ESS 2008
and the EVS 2008) and macro contextual data on European Union countries. On
the macro (country) level, the authors conduct a hierarchical cluster analysis and
crisp set QCA and make the following findings. First, two groups of countries are
formed: (a) a fairly homogeneous group of six ‘post-national’ citizenship
countries; and (b) a more heterogeneous group of classic citizenship countries.
Second, ‘post-national’ citizenship is to be expected in countries in which the
following conditions are combined: on the one hand, secularized and postindustrial societies with less emphasis on a knowledge society, and on the other
hand, societies with a stable national status where knowledge is important.
