Research
- Professor Radcliff is working on a book manuscript
entitled, "Citizenship, Gender and the Transition to Democracy,"
an examination of how new discourses and practices of citizenship were
produced during the last decade of the Franco dictatorship and the formal
transition to democracy in Spain in the mid-1970s. In theoretical terms,
the project will offer a broad framework for analyzing the construction
of democratic citizenship within the context of an emerging democratic
political culture. As a result, it will participate in larger debates
on a number of important issues, including the relationship of gender
to citizenship, the dynamics of transitions, the relationship between
state and civil society and the nature of democratic citizenship.
