Membership‐Making in Diverse Societies: Revisiting the Idea of Society as a Common Possession
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The traditional aim of Western social democracy has been to create a society that is a ‘common possession’ of its members (in T.H. Marshall's words). Social democratic politics has therefore been both society‐making and membership‐making, orienting people to a shared society as an object of attachment and loyalty, and nurturing membership ...
