Open publisher page 56 citations
Abstract
Citizenship is a central concept in the development of political democracy and the pursuit of political and social equality. However, citizenship rests on a balance of obligations and rights. This paper shows the development of an imbalance of rights versus obligations and examines the macrosociological implications for multi-party states.
