A citizenship deficit emerges when groups sense or believe that they do not have access to political avenues to be heard, represented and demand change. In this context people feel unable to be engaged or are frustrated in their attempts to represent themselves or demand action from government and services on their behalf. This leads to disconnection from political processes.


Research Agenda: Investigating Citizenship Surpluses and Deficits

This changing city has meant that there has also been a change in the way that different groups interact with, and perceive, civic bodies. As noted, my initial research shows that this has led to the emergence of both citizenship surpluses and deficits.

Though the concept of a ‘citizen deficits and surpluses’ have not emerged within the broader literature, there is a wide range of literature that discusses how some sections of the population lack of access to democratic processes. There are three broad areas of research that have emerged relevant here: citizenship and young people (see Arvanitakis; Dee); citizenship and globalisation (see Della Porta; Pusey); and citizenship and immigration (see Baldassar et al.; Gow).
