Lived citizenship as the locus of political agency in participatory policy

Abstract: Participatory policies seeking to foster active citizenship continue to be dominated by a territorial imagination. Yet the world where people identify and perform as citizens is spatially multifarious. This article engages with the tension between territorially grounded perceptions and relational modes of practicing political agency. Studying empirically the Finnish child and youth policies we address jointly the participatory obligations that municipalities strive to fulfill, and the spatial attachments that … Show more

“…Our spatial focus offers opportunities to explore new accountabilities developed and performed in the continuous 'de-territorialisation' of governance structures in health research (Gibson, 2001); seen in the break-up of traditional territorial boundaries such as the hospital, the clinic, or indeed the research lab, that is enabled by citizen participation (Häkli and Bäcklund, 2015). Future research can explore further how the constructs presented and discussed here on spacing dynamics might apply in other decentralised settings -for example, charity, community or grass-roots activist groups -which also depend, at least partly, on individuals' propensity to cooperate with others for the common good.…”

“…The unfolding of the concept enables researchers to move beyond liberal and communitarian approaches towards what Gerald Delanty has termed ‘radical theories of politics’ which connect the concept of citizenship with theories of radical democracy and inclusion (Delanty, : 46). Unfolding the concept thus involves an analytical approach that critically reveals the power relations that produce discrimination, domination and exclusion, also termed the cultural turn towards lived citizenship (Kallio and others, ; Lister, ; Stevenson, ; Warming and Fahnøe, ). This theoretical development makes it relevant to use a citizenship perspective in studying childhood as well as children of all ages in all circumstances (Moran‐Ellis and Suenker, ; Suenker, ).…”

“…The study that I draw from is based at the University of Tampere Bäcklund et al 2014;Kallio 2014;Kallio et al 2015). The approach is hence more or less opposite to that which was employed by the 1960s socialization scholars.…”
