Book – under Félicien Lemaire and Stéphanie-Couderc-Morandeau’s direction
The notions of citizenship and democracy contain a plurality of meanings and consequences. This work establishes a dialogue between several fields (philosophy, history, law, political science, economy, education sciences) on the outlines of this two concepts, both central in the organization of our societies. Beyond the simple observation of the representation’s crisis, it invites the researchers to question themselves on the desired or hoped-for outcomes of a renewal of democracy through a more active citizenship.
From historical experiences, several themes are discussed : the reality of the link between these two notions, the exact nature of the democratic model which is contemplated in the refundation of the link, and the envisaged methods for the renewal of citizens’ participation mechanisms in democratic life.
