Abstract:

Since the 1980s there have been three influential attempts to ground citizenship on the principles of duty, obligation and responsibility: conservative, communitarian and Third Way. Each of these is reviewed in the article. The principal task of this article, however, is to examine the emergence of a fourth attempt, which, by relating duty to equality through the principle of reciprocity, represents a synthesis of traditional social democracy with the new politics of obligation. Our focus will be on The civic minimum by Stuart White, since this is arguably the most cogent expression of dutybased egalitarianism to have emerged in recent years.

Desde los años 80 ha habido tres intentos importantes para fundamentar la ciudadanía en cuanto a los principios de deber, obligación y responsabilidad: conservador, comunitario y 'Tercera Vía', que se evalúan en este artículo. La tarea principal de este artículo, sin embargo, es examinar la aparición de un cuarto intento el cual representa una síntesis de democracia social tradicional con las nuevas políticas de obligación relacionando el deber con la igualdad a través de los principios de reciprocidad. Nuestro foco estará en The civic minimum de Stuart White, ya que se podría mantener que esta es la expresión más convincente de igualitarismo basado en el deber que ha surgido en años recientes.

Depuis les années 1980, il y a eu trois tentatives influentes visant à fonder la citoyenneté sur les principes de devoir, obligation et responsabilité: conservateur, communautaire et Troisième voie. Chacun de ces principes est examiné dans l'article. Cependant, la mission principale de cet article, est d'examiner l'émergence d'une quatrième tentative, qui en associant le devoir à l'égalité à travers le principe de réciprocité, représente une synthèse de la démocratie sociale traditionnelle, avec la nouvelle politique d'obligation. Nous concentrerons sur Le minimum civique par Stuart White, étant donné que c'est sans doute l'expression la plus convaincante de l'égalitarisme basé sur le devoir, ayant émergée récemment.
