The dynamics of Citizenship in the Post-Political World

International Conference at the Department of Political Science, Stockholm University, May 26-28, 2010

Citizenship is a dynamic and multidimensional concept that plays a central role in theoretical and empirical political science. In political theory it conjures up normative expectations about designing justice in opportunities, activities, and outcomes. For empirical political scientists, citizenship is a state of political affairs in a continuous state of development and, therefore, in constant need for new field investigations.

This conference invites scholars to theoretically, empirically, and critically study the idea and reality of citizenship in the post-political world. It focuses on contemporary post-political challenges to citizenship thought, institutions, processes, and practices. It takes its point of departure in two identified important post-political processes—de-politicization and politicization—and explores their impact on citizenship.

All keynote speeches are open lectures. For participation in other parts of the conference programme, please contact Michele Micheletti.
