An interdisciplinary book that will become a must-read for all those working on citizenship, nation, diversity and inequality in Europe. Original in its inception, this book explores how we talk about, contest, practice and also perform our citizenship in the different realms of our social and political activity.
Anna Triandafyllidou , Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute
This volume re-establishes the conceptual link between citizens and politics and thus revives a classical perspective that today has been mostly lost: as Max Weber famously put it, citizens are occasional politicians (Gelegenheitspolitiker).
Kari Palonen , Professor of Political Science, University of Jyvskyl
Shaping Citizenship is a fine account of the contested nature of citizenship as a political concept and practice. The book provides a comparative appraisal of citizenship ranging from the theoretical controversies around its democratic understanding to the contention surrounding citizenship as a political practice and its centrality in most recent public debates in Europe on immigration and rights.
Jos Mara Rosales , Professor of Moral and Political Philosophy, University of Mlaga
Citizenship is probably one of the most politically contested and dynamic fields of research in Europe today. The daily changes in policy and practice, the heated debates, and the triggering events have created a need for understanding and reflection. Shaping Citizenship responds to these dynamic issues by addressing the conceptual debates on inclusion and the good enough citizens. It contributes to research on asylum, access and Human Rights and deals with practice in EU innovation, labour migration, dual citizenship and much more. I recommend reading it carefully.
Trond Solhaug , Professor, Norwegian University for Science and Technology, NTNU

Shaping Citizenship
Citizenship is a core concept for the social sciences, and citizenship is also frequently interpreted, challenged and contested in different political arenas. Shaping Citizenship explores how the concept is debated and contested, defined and redefined, used and constructed by different agents, at different times, and with regard to both theory and practice.
The book uses a reflexive and constructivist perspective on the concept of citizenship that draws on the theory and methodology of conceptual history. This approach enables a panorama of politically important readings on citizenship that provide an interdisciplinary perspective and help to transcend narrow and simplified views on citizenship. The three parts of the book focus respectively on theories, debates and practices of citizenship. In the chapters, constructions and struggles related to citizenship are approached by experts from different fields. Thematically the chapters focus on political representation, migration, internationalization, sub- and transnationalization as well as the Europeanisation of citizenship.
An indispensable read to scholars and students, Shaping Citizenship presents new ways to study the conceptual changes, struggles and debates related to core dimensions of this ever-evolving concept.

Conceptualising Comparative Politics: Polities, Peoples, and Markets
Edited by Anthony Spanakos
(Montclair State University)
and
Francisco Panizza
(London School of Economics)
Conceptualising Comparative Politics seeks to bring a distinctive approach to comparative politics by rediscovering the disciplines rich conceptual tradition and interdisciplinary foundations. It aims to fill out the conceptual framework on which the rest of the subfield draws but to which books only sporadically contribute, and to complement theoretical and conceptual analysis by applying it to deeply explored case studies. The series publishes books that make serious inquiry into fundamental concepts in comparative politics (crisis, legitimacy, credibility, representation, institutions, civil society, reconciliation) through theoretically engaging and empirically deep analysis.
