Example text
I will discuss these postwar changes and their implications for the meaning and organization of citizenship in Europe. The predominant conceptions of modern citizenship, as expressed in both scholarly and popular discourses, posit that populations are organized within nation-state boundaries by citizenship rules that acclaim "national belonging" as the legitimate basis of membership in modern states. As such, national citizenship is defined by two foundational principles: (i) a congruence between territorial state and the national community; and (ii) national belonging, as the source of rights and duties of individuals, as well as their collective identity.
Meyer (1980) extends Max Weber's conceptualization of values and action by invoking the powerful organizing capacities of the "myths" of citizenship, education and science at the global level. Robertson (1992) globalizes the individual/society dialectic that has been at the heart of much modern social theory since Hegel's time. Scholars engaged in the task of constructing a sociologically adequate theory of the globalized world have used many of the familiar constructs that were invented in order to grasp the nature of modern societies.
