Declining or Waning
- Traditional National Citizenship:
There has been a noticeable decrease in papers focusing solely on traditional notions of national citizenship, as the discourse has shifted towards more complex and fluid understandings of citizenship, including transnational and post-national perspectives. - Static Legal Frameworks:
Research that solely emphasizes static legal frameworks without considering the dynamic social interactions and lived experiences of citizenship has become less prevalent, indicating a move towards more nuanced analyses. - Historical Citizenship Models:
Studies that concentrate exclusively on historical models of citizenship are appearing less frequently, as contemporary issues and current events take precedence in research agendas. - Local Citizenship Practices:
Although local citizenship practices were once a focal point, there is a declining emphasis on this area in favor of broader discussions about global citizenship and transnational connections.
