    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.
