Modern citizenship has become juridically fused with national identity

Evidence

Even though there was originally no conceptual link between citizenship and national identity or even nationality (Habermas, 1994), the boundaries between these categories have progressively been juridically blurred (Touraine, 1994): the individual enjoys the rights associated with citizenship (civil, political, social) because she or he belongs to a political community defined as a nation - the nation-state. In order to get full substantial citizenship rights, formal citizenship - that is, a juridically recognized belonging to the nation — is required. Modern citizenship is therefore largely national. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 816

Categorization

  • DEFINE: Sharpens the formal-citizenship vs substantial-citizenship distinction useful for vault claims on nationalism and rights.
  • XREF: Connects to vault material on the nation-state as a construct and nominal vs substantive inclusion. — connects to: Citizenship is decoupling from nation-state boundaries under globalization — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 835
  • corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 816
