CALA, Edgar. Liberal citizenship or Communal citizenship? Elements to differentiate the practices of citizens inside of local. Rev. de Inv. Educ. [online]. 2012, vol.5, n.2, pp.77-94. ISSN 1997-4043.

The practices of citizens can be understood based on the mutual relationship between system and citizen environment. The economic and political fields that are part of the citizen system define what kind of civic responsibility should be practiced, whether it be liberal or communal. The specific elements that are part of these fields are related with the kind of economic and political rights that are connected with the practices of citizens. As far as liberal citizenship (rational system), the main characteristics are that the economy is based on the right of dependence and its politics are based on tutelary rights. Unlike this one, in communal citizenship (system of interpersonal relations), the economy is grounded in rights of self-regulation and the politics are based on the rights of self-organization. The social, civil, cultural and other aspects of citizenship are part of the citizens' environment and are reproduced with regard to the predominant environment, to which they can be operationally connected.
