We understand citizenship as a dual character of civic status and civic practice, including the tension between desired inclusion and actual co-produced exclusion. The duality of civic status and civic practice is itself always in a dichotomous state between desired or propagated inclusion and actual co-produced exclusion. Citizenship refers to both membership status and membership roles in a socialisation process. In terms of status and practice, citizenship controls specific configurations of exclusion and inclusion across different socialization processes.
In a globalised world, the need for orientation, self-localisation and negotiation of individual group memberships as well as the requirements for the self-determined action of individuals are increasing. The analysis of these processes of socialisation from the perspective of inclusion and citizenship reveals increasing options for action and opportunities for personal and institutional learning. Moreover, this leads to unavoidable tensions between inclusion and exclusion, resulting in difficult dilemmas between competing normative claims and paradoxes in the structure of socialisation processes that block action.
