Final Year Project
Project Title
The Politics of Citizenship
Description
The emergence of nation-states brought with it a set of values and frameworks for the state that rest on the construction of national identity, its system of governance, and the idea of citizenship, which defines who can and who cannot be a part of the state. Citizenship has been used to disenfranchise certain factions of society by means of legal documentation, and by not recognizing them as citizens of the state. Pakistan offers a multi-layered study of its complex bureaucratic processes and structures, and this paper provides a critical textual analysis of the theorization of citizenship in Pakistan. It offers a critique of the bureaucratic structures that disproportionately hold the power to write the state’s narrative and explores the impact that it has on the experiences of individuals in Pakistan.
