It can be pushed and pulled\u0026amp;mdash;stretched and warped\u0026amp;mdash;by rights. Instead of treating membership as the source of rights, A. Aneesh flips the script. He starts with the enforceable rights people actually hold\u0026amp;mdash;the rights to enter, work, reside, claim welfare, or vote\u0026amp;mdash;and shows how these bundles now determine \u003ci\u003ehow much\u003c\/i\u003e citizenship one effectively possesses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book traces a long arc from kinship-based social reproduction to modern institutions and, ultimately, to the if-this-then-that logic that increasingly governs access to labor markets and social rights. Beneath that arc is a clash between two social orders. One is built around kinship\u0026amp;mdash;blood, soil, family, and belonging\u0026amp;mdash;the emotional force behind national citizenship. The other is built around function\u0026amp;mdash;roles, rules, competence, algorithmic design\u0026amp;mdash;where kinship is recoded as \u003ci\u003enepotism\u003c\/i\u003e and friendship as \u003ci\u003ecronyism\u003c\/i\u003e, and steadily discredited by organizational norms. As social reproduction shifts from family and lineage to institutions and rights regimes, citizenship becomes modular: a programmable bundle of rights rather than a fixed status of national membership.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough detailed cases including Canada\u0026amp;rsquo;s skilled-worker ranking system, citizenship-by-investment programs that trade capital for passports, and ancestry-based statuses like the Overseas Citizenship of India, Aneesh shows how labor, capital, and ancestry are translated into scores and thresholds that decide who may work, settle, and benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback","offer_id":49725433643235,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780262059282","price":440.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780262059282.jpg?v=1789256345","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh-mo\/products\/beyond-membership-a-theory-of-modular-citizenship-for-a-programmable-world","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
