Course Title:
Citizenship and Democracy in a Global Age
Course Number:
TR3801
Course Description:
The aim of this course is to explore why "citizenship" matters in democracy in a global age we live in. Here are two aspects of citizenship in political theory: "public participation" and "tolerance toward different others". This course follows the contemporary currents of democratic theory from participatory democracy to radical democracy, as well as of civil society arguments in the 1980s and 90s. Then, we examine discussions on so called "global democracy" and "global civil society". Finally, we will consider what "global citizenship" could mean and how it would be possible.
