National or post-national? Transformation of the concept of citizenship and the experience of transnationalism
Abstract
The aim of the text is to present the category of post-national citizenship developed in relation
to, or even in opposition to the earlier version of the traditional national citizenship in a liberal
society. Attention is drawn to the importance of the experience of transnationalism for the development
of new civic identities, transcending beyond the nation-states boundaries. The focus
will be on key elements of the scientific debate on the interdependence between the national
and the post-national perspective in contemporary attempts to conceptualize the category of
citizenship. The increased role of post-national forms of civic participation is explained by reference
to broader processes, including further individualization and emphasis on selfrealization
in personal life, the creation of transnational communities, internationalization of
human rights protection, as well as the transformation of the very nation-state and its range of
obligations to the citizens. Moreover, the text refers to the counter-arguments against the thesis
of a slow, yet inevitable weakening of the link between citizenship and nationality, including
examples of legislative and administrative actions of Western states aimed at strengthening
the national citizenship concept.
