In our first volume, I argued that there are both similarities and differences between concepts of citizenship in the East and the West (Lee,2004). Common features include citizenship rights and responsibilities and the relation between the state and the individuals. The differences are more at the conceptual level and the way citizenship is understood. Concepts of citizenship in the West range from the classical approach, where citizenship is a privilege, to various liberal , social, nation-state,and post-national theories. These are largely characterized by state-individual concerns and therefore are fundamentally polical. Discussion on citizenship in Eastern societies, however, is not bound by these historical contexts, and the point of departure for discussing citizenship ca be quite different. Rather than focusing on state-individual (and political) rights and responsibilities, discussion on citizenship in Eastern societies tends to be relationalistic. A trypical citizenship curriculum of this type is concerned with how one relates to self, others (such as family and friends), the state, and Nature. There is often significant emphasis on self-cultivation, as well as harmonious relationships between the self and others. In this view, to be a good citizen requires an individual to be a good person. The distinction between public and private virtues is often not clear-cut in discussions of citizenship in many Asia and Pacific societies. Referring to the notion of behig a good person as a good citizen and applying Turner’s (1992,p.76) analysis of the various dimensions of ‘individual’ namely, individualism, individuation, and individuality, I have found that there is more emphasis on individuality than on the individual in the Asia-Pacific literature on citizenship.
