Citizenships, Contingency and the Countryside defines citizenship in relation to the rural environment. The book expands and explores a widened conceptualization of citizenship and sets out a range of examples where citizenship, at different scales, has been expressed in and over the rural environment. Part of the analysis includes a review of the political construction and use of citizenship rhetoric over the past 20 years, alongside an historical and theoretical discussion of citizenship and rights in the British countryside. The text concludes with a call to recognise and incorporate the multiple voices and interests in decision-making, that all affect the British countryside.Part 1: Society, Culture and Rural Land Part 2: Unpacking Citizenship Part 3: UK Politics and the Citizenship Debate Part 4: On Being Modern: Consolidating Citizenship in the Countryside Part 5: Enacting and Contesting Rights through History Part 6: Political Expediency, Localness and Active Citizenship Part 7: Citizenship and the Countryside as Consumer Space Part 8: Citizenship, Contingency and the Countryside This work defines citizenship in relation to the rural environment.
