Document Summary

*a major theme is inequalities in the way citizenship is experienced by different social, ethnic groups. Tensions between class and citizenship: marx, rousseau and other observers. Marshall"s views on the evolution of citizenship: marshall on the limitations of civil and political rights until the development of social rights, marshall"s vision of the radical potential of social citizenship, citizenship rights as earned: struggles for/around citizenship. Class and citizenship: issues relevant to the course. Tensions between citizenship and class inequalities: marx: marx argues that political citizenship which started to involve the expansion of citizenship rights and political rights to vote to the working-class in the 19th century. This was hollow and deceptive because political citizenship involved equality on paper (formal equality public) yet inequality in the private. According to marx, as along social and economic inequalities existed, the working- class having political rights did not mean much.
