Annexe 9: Module specification
Version 2 00 - Sep 05
The definition of citizenship is not a static but
reflects changes in expectations. Contemporary
ideas of citizenship are at present being shaped
by issues of globalisation, the war on terror, world
poverty, human rights and challenges to the
environment. The concept of globalisation
explains a world that becomes increasingly
interconnected with greater awareness of the
possibilities for events that overspill the
boundaries of nation states when citizenship and
human rights are being shaped through
international treaties, protocols and agreements.
The terror attacks on New York, London, Madrid
and other atrocities that have impacted over 50
countries are connected with the War On Terror
which has become increasingly global. There are
now emerging debates about the boundaries
between issues of security and civil liberties;
citizenship and integration, globalisation and world
