Delve into the evolving concepts of citizenship and identity in the contemporary global landscape. Discuss British citizenship principles, impact of security legislation, and implications of devolution. Compare French, German, and British citizenship models and analyze their effects on political culture and integration dynamics. Explore multi-layered identity issues, such as Black British and Scottish identities, to understand complexities beyond a singular 'British' identity. Evaluate the notion of being a global citizen in the era of advanced technologies and supranational organizations, and weigh the relevance of cosmopolitanism in grasping modern citizenship paradigms.

Workshop Activity Political culture, identity and citizenship
Group 1 • This group should discuss the principles which underpin British citizenship? • Has new security legislation changed the relationship between the individual and the state? • To what extent has devolution had a impact on identity and citizenship in the UK?
Group 2 • This group should compare French and German concepts of citizenship with the British model. • What are the implications for political culture, identity and integration arising from these different approaches?
Group 3 • This group should examine the issue of multi-layered identity and citizenship • Is British identity better understood in terms of multiple identities e.g. Black British; Scottish & British rather than simply ‘British’? • Do you feel European?
Group 4 • This group should consider whether we are now all global citizens: • Has the development of new technologies and supranational economic and political organisations delivered a post-national citizenship? • Is cosmopolitanism a better concept for understanding modern citizenship?
