Further Specification of the Citizenship Concept: A Reply to M. L. Harrison

Abstract: Harrison's generous treatment of my attempt to develop a general theory of citizenship identifies a number of major issues; a detailed answer to all the points which he raises is not possible within the limitations of this reply. In any case, I accept many of the additions and corrections which he recommends for advancing the sociology of citizenship. It appears that the essence of his position is that, in addition to providing a historical understanding of the shifting nature of the concept of citizenship, we should turn our attention to 'the material conditions' which determine citizenship inequalities and that we need to examine 'the differential nature of citizenship experiences' by reference, for example, to class and intra-class differences. Harrison quite correctly notes that ethnic or racial inequalities are crucial, especially in contemporary Britain, for the ways in which different social groups experience citizenship entitlements unequally. These comments suggest that we should examine the experience of citizenship within the life-cycle of the individual in relation to unequal and changing access to scarce resources in a community. Thus, while Harrison appropriately refers to gender and ethnic differences in the experience of citizenship entitlements, he fails to discuss the impact of ageing in the life-cycle of individuals on social membership. In ideal-typical terms, as individuals mature, they acquire greater status within the community as a result of education, employment, or inheritance, which provide the means for possessing property, forming households and creating families. It is this process of increasing reciprocity Which

Legal Pluralism, State Sovereignty, and Citizenship

Abstract: Early British colonialism was originally driven by the pragmatic trading needs of the East India Company, which only interfered with local custom and tradition in the interests of company profit. To some extent subsequent British governments adopted similar policies, and this strategy partly explains why postcolonial states such as Singapore, Malaysia, and most African states have always had legal pluralism. In many postcolonial societies in the late twentieth century, there was a political drive by indigenous peoples for customary law, and hence the principle of the unitary sovereign state was, at least in Latin America, weakened. In the contemporary situation, the prospect of accepting Shari'a in many European and North American societies has been rejected on precisely the issue of sovereignty, despite the fact that, for example, religious courts (both Jewish and Muslim) have often operated in such societies. The recent protest against the Archbishop of Canterbury's public lecture 1 is an obvious exampl...

Possessions and the extended self.

Abstract: Our possessions are a major contributor to and reflection of our identities A variety of evidence is presented supporting this simple and compelling premise Related streams of research are identified and drawn upon in developing this concept and implications are derived for consumer behavior Because the construct of extended self involves consumer behavior rather than buyer behavior, it appears to be a much richer construct than previous formulations positing a relationship between self-concept and consumer brand choice
