| Title Proper | It all does not matter that much in the European Union’—migrant transnationalism and the transformation of post-communist citizenship discourse |
| Language | ENG |
| Author | Jakobson, Mari-Liis |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Observing a case of transnational migration between Estonia and Finland, this article investigates how the experience of living in a Western democracy alters discourses of citizenship amongst people who have been socialised into the concept while living in a post-communist country. Through a discursive approach, the article demonstrates that, notwithstanding 25 years of democratic transformation, the norms of post-communist citizenship remain different from the Western liberal and republican norms. However, European Union citizenship plays an important transforming role on the discursive level. |
