Keywords:
‘Citizenship Status’, Collective State Community, Welfare Policy in IsraelAbstract
One of the main issues that concerns social policy-makers and the general public and is connected to the state’s responsibility to guarantee the welfare of its citizens is ‘citizenship status’. The term refers to an individual’s affiliations and memberships in a legally-defined political community. The importance of citizenship status is that it marks out people’s identity and integrates them into the collective state community (Joppke, 2008). People generally take their identity and status as citizens for granted. Citizenship status in this sense endows a person with various civil and political rights. In addition, it also has clearly-defined social aspects that relate to welfare rights )Hvinden and Johansson, 2007; Miller, 2000; Roche, 1992).
The article discusses the social dimension of citizenship status, and what is termed ‘social citizenship’, that is, the social rights linked to citizenship status and the changes it has undergone.
