Recognition lies at the heart of multiple contests around citizenship rights, identity politics, claims for material redistribution and demands for past harms to be acknowledged and redressed. Our view is that this is an opportune time, perhaps a necessary time, to think through the contemporary dynamics around recognition found in various contests across the globe. This is for two reasons. First, there is a noticeable shift in such contests from earlier demands for the recognition of difference, to more recent concerns with the recognition of shared characteristics, of valuing sameness alongside, or indeed instead of, difference. Second, the mechanisms and institutional responses to recognition appear to be producing new or altered forms of ‘conditionality’ within rights and citizenship. In other words, groups and individuals need to ‘prove’ that they should be recognised by the state in certain ways in order to claim resources and legitimacy.
