Transforming citizenship: The democratic potential of civic enterprises
Citizenship is as good a window as any to probe the implications of the emergence of civic enterprises against this background. Traditionally citizenship is defined in terms of the rights and obligations of the residents of a nation state. Many of these rights and obligations are enshrined in laws and rules that govern the conduct of officials, of the agencies of the state, of citizens, and of the relationship between these groups and entities. But many of these rights and obligations are informal in that they operate as articulations of hope, aspiration, possibility, and meaningfulness, as sets of expectations, or as an ethos that shapes what is considered appropriate or right behaviour. These bundles of formal and informal rights and obligations aggregate into strong normative ideals of what it means to be a citizen of a particular nation.
