Abstract:
It is usual to define citizenship as a full membership in society. But this view contradicts basic principles of classical and actual theories of society. Typically the modem society establishes a multitude of social positions for individuals, which is not derived from one basic membership. Whether and how which inclusions and exclusions are integrated in the one position of citizenship can only be answered if the differentiation of modern society is taken into consideration. “Integration” is a term of differentiation theory. The interaction between two kinds of differentiation constitutes citizenship: the functional differentiation of a global political system and the segmentary differentiation of politic into states. This interaction develops the pattern of inclusions and exclusions, which are integrated in citizenship. The article critizes usual terms of citizenship in the perspective of differentiation theory and analyses the integration of nationality (resp. denizenship), political, civil and social rights to one pattern of inclusions and exclusions.
