"دولة جميع المواطنين": من التغييب الأيديولوجي إلى مخاضات التشكّل في سياق ما بعد الثورات العربية

Abstract

The study attempts to show the relevance of the concepts of citizenship and state of citizenship as two characteristics of the modern nation-state in the current Arab context, in terms of its ability to intensify the expression of real in-kind demands for which the vast masses in the Arab countries have risen up, and continue to rise. In order to clarify this current, the study returns to the context of the emergence of the modern Arab state in the Arab world. Then it deals with the development of the concept of citizenship and the evolution of the political and social structures to which it refers, to its structural association with the democratic nation-state model. The study also addresses the paradox between the concept of democracy and the concept of state of citizenship in the prevailing current and contemporary Arab ideological thinking, and how this paradox has been reflected in the struggles of the democratic transition that some of the Arab countries experienced during the past decade.
