It is therefore not limited to the analysis of the normative for the same reason that citizenship indicates much more than passive holding of rights; it involves an active engagement with the political institutions and the broader social arena. Citizenship is also co-citizenship, meaning that it can only be exercised from within a collective more societal than communal .<br /> & However, it is important not to forget the deep-rooted inequalities that undermine many citizenship rights of those who are considered other and non-citizen and are positioned on the margins of society, as usually happens to an immigrant population<br /> & [T]here is no way of forging active citizenship without responsibility. <em>Melita Richter</em></P><BR> </td> <TD width="10%" > &nbsp; </TD> </tr></table> </body> </html>
