Rethinking Citizenship Through Transnational Lenses: Canada, New Zealand, and Australia

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Citizenship in Transnational Perspective

Part of the book series: Politics of Citizenship and Migration ((POCM))

Abstract

The accelerated realities of a transnational era are challenging conventional notions of citizenship in ways yet to be determined. At the crux of any reassessment is the need to move beyond static, singular, and state-centric notions of citizenship that historically informed national models but can no longer abide by the multiple modalities of belonging and identity in a transnational world of globalization, the internationalization of universal human rights, surges in ethnonationalism, the intensification of diverse-diversities, and proliferation of diasporic communities. The chapter addresses the reframing of citizenship in the twenty-first century, what it means to be a citizen in a world of posts, trans, and isms, and what constitutes a meaningful citizenship from a transnational perspective across the settler domains of Canada, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and Australia.

The term transnational is commonly used to describe how people’s lives transcend a single geographical space and national borders. But reference to transnational is subject to varying interpretations (Jonathan Fox, Unpacking Transnational Citizenship, Annual Review of Political Science 8 (2005), 171–201): a descriptive sense of what is, as a variable (a difference that makes a difference), an interpretive lens that offers new possibilities, and a lived-reality. At its narrowest, it can be defined as the process by which migrants forge and maintain ties that span or transcend national borders, in effect, creating new social spaces that are multilocal in defining who belongs, how they belong, and what belonging entitles (Sandercock, Planning; Conference Notes, Rethinking the Transnational Perspective: Shortcomings and New Approaches. International Workshop, University of Fribourg, 13–14 September 2012.) In this chapter, however, I am using the prefix trans in transnational in the broadest way possible, including references to trans as across national borders (dual citizenship); beyond the nation-state (cosmopolitanism and universal human rights); transcending state boundaries (diaspora + transmigrants + cosmopolitanism); transversing national space (multiversal citizenship); transpositional (Indigenous citizenship); and transforming (disruptive change). Collectively, a trans perspective secures a new discursive framework for rethinking the politics of citizenship in a world of posts, trans, and isms.

    It goes without saying that references to a transnational citizenship (or that a multicultural citizenship or global citizenship, etc.) do not connote a legal status with corresponding set of rights. It represents a commitment (aspirational ideal) to think, talk, and do citizenship differently through a lens that imagines the world as a global community of Indigenous peoples and transmigrants with rights (Stromquist, Theorizing Global Citizenship),

    Cross-national differences in defining the parameters of citizenship can be discerned as well. Unlike Australia and Canada, permanent residents in New Zealand do not require citizenship status to vote in elections, provided they have completed one year of permanent residency. Canada continues to confer citizenship on anyone born on Canadian soil whereas Australia and New Zealand restrict this right to someone born of a permanent resident or citizen. The moral contract between newcomers and Australian citizenship is explicit in terms of what is expected of citizens and what practices are allowed (Gilles Paquet, Governance and Emergent Transversal Citizenship: Towards a New Nexus of Moral Contracts in From Subjects to Citizens: A Hundred Years of Citizenship in Australia and Canada, Proceedings of a conference in Ottawa, 2001, eds. P. Boyer et al. (Ottawa: University of Ottawa Press, 2004), 231–262). Australians tend to support a bottom up commitment to citizenship at local, state, and commonwealth levels, thereby solidifying the identities, commonalities, and the social glue that binds Australians. The fact that Australia celebrates an annual Citizenship Day each year symbolizes its commitment. By contrast, Canada’s approach to citizenship entails minimal reflection (bordering on indifference?), but with notable flexibility (Environics Institute in partnership with Institute for Canadian Citizenship, Maytree Foundation, CBC News, and RBC, Canadians on Citizenship Final Report, February 2012; L. Oakes and J. Warren, Language, Citizenship and Identity in Quebec (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2007)). It’s also focused on legal status and formal entitlements rather than active participation.
