Abstract

Led by the principal investigator for the present project, Dr. Barry Cannon, from Maynooth University’s Sociology Department, the project provided participants with theoretical inputs around democracy, citizenship, and globalisation, supporting and challenging the group to examine, deepen and extend their work on global citizenship. The project report concluded that: • Globalisation has created new complexities around the sovereignty of states, who are the traditional guarantors of citizenship. It has opened up new avenues for citizenship claims while bringing challenges in the nature and realisation of these claims. • The concept of global citizenship is one response to the challenge of conceptualising democracy beyond the nation state frame. Yet it was noted that there was no specific model for global citizenship and in fact contemporary citizenship responds to multiple sovereignties, below, within, across and beyond states. • The report recommended that further work be done with the sector to explore these issues on global citizenship.
