Abstract
The chapters on the aspects of citizenship included in this book – both in terms of the narrative accounts from South Korea and the comparative aspects of citizenship – show the world-wide interest in this issue, which is one of the most salient problems of our times. However, the popularity of citizenship as a phenomenon comes with a necessary imprecision in its usage. Besides, the European origin of citizenship in its modern version tends to deflect attention from its universal significance, and identify its genealogy with an exclusively European provenance. This chapter seeks to balance this asymmetry of narrative and theory by bringing theory back in, illustrating the general conjectures emerging from this with illustrations from the case of citizenship in India, and to suggest some general inferences based on the cases of India and South Korea.
