The State and the Citizen

The nature of citizenship and the relationship of the individual to the state are topics of universal concern. In a dialogue about the idea of communitarianism, the authors discovered some differences in perspective between Danes and Americans. The paper explores those differences, examining American communitarian thought, its place in the political culture, and its relationship to public administration. It then turns to Danish republican thought, including its historical development, the character of the people, and an illustration of local politics and citizen action with a case study of the Hylke Village Council. The authors find similarities in the lively non-governmental civic activity of both countries, but contrasting views of the relationship of citizens and government. The political cultures of the two countries are quite different, though the societal issues under discussion are similar in many ways. This juxtaposition of different political cultures and similar issues produces an interesting comparison that may be useful to both peoples
