Résumé
Being both what is described as a ‘multi-nation’ and ‘multicultural’ state, the UK provides an interesting example allowing for exploration of the issue of the methodological exercise of ‘translating citizenship’. In particular, I examine the phenomenon of the UK government making efforts to reassert the relevance and the significance of ‘post-national’ (or state-level) citizenship, in the context of forces of perceived internal division —increasing devolution over the last decade, and also concerns relating to community cohesion and integration. These policy initiatives are based on a hypothesis or broadly framed theoretical proposition/assumption that, firstly, increased ethnic and religious diversity challenges common citizenship, and that policy initiatives that promote ‘post-national’ or state level citizenship are a means to reduce internal division.
