| Summary |
A paradox underlies Citizenship: The Third Revolution. Curiously, the importance of citizenship since its introduction some four thousand years ago in the Ancient Near East is only partly grasped. Ever since, citizenship has always been circumscribed by ascribed markers of status, such as slavery in Greece and Rome, the exclusion of women from civic life across millennia, and the discrimination against religious and racial minorities in nation-states. Understanding this paradox—the introduction of the revolutionary idea of humankind to shape its own destiny yet being unable to shed the harness of “primordialism”—is key. This book seeks, first, to reveal the underlying “grammar”—the principles—of citizenship. Why does citizenship emerge, historically, and why does it maintain traction, even if in compromised forms? Second, the book asks how we can move forward to revive citizenship and democracy. Historically, the book considers three revolutionary periods for citizenship: from the ancient and classical worlds, to the flourishing of guilds and city republics from 1000 CE, to the “unfinished revolution” of human rights from the post–World War II period. Building on emerging social developments, this book proposes a path forward toward repairing democracy, including laying open the foundations for a “twenty-first century guild.” |
