    Seeing Like a Citizen: Re-claiming Citizenship in a Neoliberal World
    (Development Research Centre on Citizenship, Participation and Accountability, 2005-11) Gaventa, John
    This paper argues that neoliberal frameworks reshaping citizenship, particularly through market-based approaches and thin democracy, limit the capacity for citizens to express their rights and seek accountability. The 'seeing like a citizen' approach is presented as a counterpoint to neoliberal interpretations of citizenship, advocating for a more active role for citizens in claiming rights and challenging power structures. Drawing on research from multiple working groups within the Development Research Centre (DRC), the paper explores the dynamics of citizenship in the context of neoliberalism, emphasizing the importance of active citizen participation for social justice and development.

    This report explores the methodologies employed by the VPC research group to study the complex dynamics of violence, marginalization, and participatory social action across diverse contexts. The study spans four countries—Brazil, Jamaica, Mexico, and Nigeria—highlighting the unique socio-political and cultural challenges in each region. Issues such as human rights, ethnic and religious conflicts, resource control, and the impact of violence on communities are analyzed. Employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods, the study focuses on fostering participatory citizenship, addressing the intransigence of violence, and promoting peaceful social transformation through actionable insights.
