On the foundation of both Keynesian economic policies and the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates among currencies, the world economy recovered. The classical sociological meaning and concept of citizenship as defined by T. H. Marshall and others after World War II rests on an analysis of the relationship between the capitalist economy and political democracy against the background of 'embedded liberalism'. Today, however, the enforcement of neo-liberal principles in order to turn modern democracies into 'market societies' impinges heavily on our idea of citizenship. The critical aspects of a flawed citizenship go directly to the heart of the idea of citizenship itself, as both democratic and social participation and a substantial conception of individual liberty all seem to be under attack from the global politico-economic regime.}, language = {en} } @incollection{MackertTurner2017, author = {Mackert, J{\"u}rgen and Turner, Bryan S.}, title = {Introduction}, series = {The Transformation of Citizenship : Volume 3 Struggle, Resistance and Violence}, booktitle = {The Transformation of Citizenship : Volume 3 Struggle, Resistance and Violence}, number = {3}, publisher = {Routledge Taylor}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-1-138-67288-8 (print)}, doi = {10.4324/9781315562278}, pages = {1 -- 14}, year = {2017}, abstract = {The history of citizenship is one of social struggle against pre-modern authorities, nobles and aristocracies, of class struggles and the demands of social movements, and no less of cultural, ethnic, indigenous protests against the long history of colonialism. Paths to citizenship in Europe have taken very different directions, as Charles Tilly has shown with regard to England, the Netherlands, Russia or Prussia. Max Weber's dictum of defining the state by the accomplishment of the monopolisation of the legitimate means of violence is of utmost significance for the history of citizenship. There can be no doubt that the experience of World War II prepared the ground for the twentieth-century idea of citizenship. Consequently the Western concept of citizenship has been promoted as a role model in the march towards modernity as peaceful, democratic and universalistic.

The book examines the role of Frontex in the European Union as an agency to protect its external borders in the Mediterranean from irregular or 'illegal' migration. It discusses that Europe is an arrangement for European citizens only - and for some privileged non-citizens as in the Swiss case. The book explains the points to the possibility of a transnational membership regime that, however, bears certain antinomies that also point to unresolved problems. It offers an interesting view on the symbolic boundary between the citizen and the consumer, discussing this nexus from the perspective of citizenship studies, consumer culture and surveillance studies. Among the many far-reaching transformations that both societies and citizens have faced in recent years, the European migration crisis has most urgently brought to mind the fact that modern citizenship has always been about boundaries and about processes of inclusion and exclusion}, language = {en} } @incollection{Mackert2016, author = {Mackert, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Zur Bedeutung und Analyse von Grenzen in der Soziologie}, series = {Grenzen im Fokus der Wissenschaften}, booktitle = {Grenzen im Fokus der Wissenschaften}, publisher = {Trafo}, address = {Berlin}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {171 -- 196}, year = {2016}, language = {de} } @incollection{Mackert2017, author = {Mackert, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Why we need a new political economy of citizenship: neo-liberalism, the bank crisis and the 'Panama Papers'}, series = {The Transformation of Citizenship : Political Economy}, booktitle = {The Transformation of Citizenship : Political Economy}, number = {1}, publisher = {Routledge Taylor}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-1-138-67290-1 (print)}, pages = {99 -- 117}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @incollection{Mackert2018, author = {Mackert, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Introduction}, series = {Populism and the crisis of democracy Volume 1 Concepts and Theory}, booktitle = {Populism and the crisis of democracy Volume 1 Concepts and Theory}, editor = {Fitzi, Gregor and Mackert, J{\"u}rgen and Turner, Bryan S.}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-1-138-09136-8}, pages = {1 -- 13}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The rise of populism has promoted a broad, vivid and flourishing debate in the social sciences that seems to have arisen even in the face of the ties between right-wing populism and the extreme right.

Incongruity or asynchrony of events in factual history and their being conceptualised is obviously critical with regard to the problems that arise with defining and conceptualising populism. The plurality of usages, applications and meanings of populism thus only shows how, in a vivid debate, scholars can observe a contest for coming to terms with a concept that remains in flux and that needs to be continually revised given rapidly changing social conditions.

In an analytical perspective the article suggests a distinction between three forms of populism, 'organic populism', 'liberal economic populism', and 'liberal cultural populism', that operate differently.
