 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Citizenship   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Citizenship is membership in a political community (originally a city but now usually a state), and carries with it rights to political participation; a person having such membership is a citizen.
In recent years, some intergovernmental organisations have extended the concept and terminology associated with citizenship to international level; where it is applied to the totality of the citizens of their constituent countries combined.
Whilst Commonwealth citizenship is sometimes enshrined in the written constitutions (where applicable) of Commonwealth states and is considered by some to be a form of dual citizenship, there have never been, nor are there any plans for a common passport.

 Domingues: Dialectics and Modernity, Autonomy and Solidarity
In the nineteenth century, Brazil was clearly liberal vis-a-vis social legislation; the exception was the reinvention of associations inspired in the professional corporations of the colonial period.
In contrast, 'regulated citizenship' mixed principles related to 'work merit' and to contributions (as in the explicit case of pensions, which, despite distortions, follow directly what one has paid along his or her life) with the cancellation, or strict control, of political citizenship.
Active citizenship may be the outcome of the management of social solidarity by individuals and groups through generative politics (in a sense a citizenship right) at the same time as it goes beyond properly defined citizenship, since individuals and collectivities break free from state regulation.

 Participative democracy in Porto Alegre, by Bernard Cassen
The participative budget or OP (orçamento participativo) is not just an exercise in the distribution of municipal income and expenditure by the people themselves.
The metropolitan area of the city has a population of 1.3 million in a conurbation of 3.3 million, so the scale of the operation, combined with the rigorous and progressive way in which it is conducted, make it an experiment in direct democracy unlike any other anywhere in the world.
The OP has allowed a genuine redistribution of public investment to the outlying districts where, for example, the buses did not run at all until the municipal authorities specified the routes to be covered in their contracts with the private bus companies and until the authorities themselves arranged for the access roads to be surfaced.

 CHAPTER I
Throughout, the concern is to maximize the participation in governance or the exercise of freedom of the members of the community, thereby enabling them to live more fully as persons and groups so that the entire society flourishes.
It took many centuries for this evolution in philosophical awareness from essence to existence to emerge clearly and for its implications vis-a-vis the Christian Platonism, which had reigned from Augustine to Bonaventure, to be brought clearly to light.
Moral action in a civil society was creatively to mediate this ideal pattern into concrete cooperative action by the members of society in the many and myriad ways in which they intersected in their lives.

 Brazil: National Action Plan for Human Rights
The National Plan for Human Rights indicates this direction, and since it is rooted in Brazilian citizenry and addresses the entirety of citizens, it is a clear statement of the Federal Government concerning the promotion and widening of these rights, vis-à-vis of the external engagements of Brazil and of those regarding the population.
He instructed then the Ministry of Justice to draft a National Action Plan for Human Rights, as provided for in the Statement and Programme of Action of Vienna, adopted by consensus at the World Conference for Human Rights, on June 25th, 1993, conference at which Brazil had noteworthy participation.

Canada's lack of "strong national identity" (in the XIXth and XXth century sense of the term) as well as its experience with diversity are proving to be major assets to a state projecting itself into the XXIst century.
The participation itself generates cohesion and tends to create a form of *citizen-identity that is appropriate to cooperation among culturally diverse citizens" (James Tully).
Canadians know that belonging is not definitive, that identity is a moving complexity, citizenship a moving target; that belonging is not without contradictions, but that it reflects in us the complexities and paradoxes of our societies, "that it is the consequence of its being multiole by definition".

 Ashoka Fellow Profile - Tadeusz Zapadka
The lack of information for farmers has meant that the mayors of the villages have become the voice for the people, even when they lack the support of the community.
In 1999 Tadeusz gathered a group of active villagers and municipality officials to establish a foundation called "The Village in the XXIst Century." Since 1999 this foundation has become a leading organization in combating unemployment in the region, bringing innovation to rural areas and equipping people with confidence and skills to improve their lives.
After seeing motivated individuals empowered by their successes, Tadeusz concluded that patterns of apathy and passivity could be broken when people became direct beneficiaries of their own actions.
