This conference deals, theoretically and empirically, with the changing nature of
citizenship in a globalizing world. In doing so, it explores the ways in which the
interactions between identity-based demands and citizenship rights are constructed and
have generated impacts on state-society relations. In this sense, it provides a platform
for theoretical and empirical discussion for scholars from different disciplines,
different research orientations, and expertise on particular cases.
