What does ‘good citizenship’ mean, and how stable is this meaning across
time and space?
How do psychological factors, such as emotions, collective identities, and
ethical behaviour, shape perceptions of good citizenship and citizenship
norms?
What are the main changes in citizenship norms, and which factors
(economic, political, psychological, social, etc.) are related to these
changes?
How are citizenship norms linked to social, educational, technological, and
psychological processes?
How do citizenship norms vary across different socio-political, cultural,
geographic, and temporal contexts, and what are the implications of these
variations for democracy and civic education?
