Claiming Citizenship

Claiming Citizenship is an authoritative and vital series published by Zed Books in partnership with the Citizenship Development Research Centre (CDRC).

Each high-quality volume features thoroughly peer-reviewed research from senior experts in their field, which examines the multifaceted issues of citizenship, rights, participation and accountability. The books are global in scope and packed with empirical and original case studies, largely from Southern contexts, bringing voices and materials to debates that have often been dominated by the North. While essential reading for development studies students and researchers, the series will be of interest to a broad range of scholars, activists and practitioners concerned with issues of citizenship.

About the editors

John Gaventa is a research professor and fellow in the Participation, Power and Social Change Team at the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex. A political sociologist by training, he has written widely on issues of power, citizen action, participation and democracy, including the award-winning Power and Powerlessness in an Appalachian Valley (1980) and Global Citizen Action (co-editor, 2001). He also has been active with a number of NGOs and civil society organizations internationally, including the Highlander Center in the United States and Oxfam in the UK. He is the director of the Development Research Centre on Citizenship, Participation and Accountability.

Rosemary McGee has been a research fellow in the Participation, Power and Social Change Team at the Institute of Development Studies since 1999. She has extensive work experience in policy and programme posts in the international development NGO sector. Her research and teaching focus on forms of citizen participation in decision-making, governance and rights-claiming processes, and on the international aid system, both official and non-governmental. Her doctoral research was conducted in a violence-torn region of Colombia, as was much of her NGO work, and she continues to work closely on that country as well as others in Latin America and Africa.
