An investigation into the meanings of good citizenship
thesis
posted on 2018-11-19, 15:50 authored by Matthew AlmondThe notion of good citizenship is a neglected concept within the theoretical
literature and in empirical investigations. The field of citizenship studies is now
vast and multidisciplinary yet there has not been a specific study aimed solely
at uncovering what it means to be a good citizen. This research responds to
this deficiency by undertaking a theoretical analysis of the components of
good citizenship, combined with the creation of a consensus view of
citizenship experts and a set of lay perspectives on good citizenship. The
methodology is concerned with examining the characteristics of good
citizenship from an expert point of view using a modified Delphi study. Two
methods of data collection—semi-structured interviews and focus groups—were
used to research the lay perspectives on what it means to be a good citizen. [Continues.]
