摘要主权民族国家历史上反复出现的话题之一是如何在政治上处理民族认同以及社会和文化差异。在荷兰，一直有很强的社会公民权传统，政府最近通过转向新的公民权概念来回应多元国家及其问题。本文认为，公民身份的概念最终被用来通过创造和维持民族凝聚力来加强荷兰的主权。公共政策的基本假设是，强烈的国家公民意识取代旧的社会公民模式，是在当代后工业社会调和分歧和维护和平的唯一途径。荷兰的三个政策部门--融合、福利和儿童保护--被审查，以了解这些概念是如何在公共政策中形成的。
Abstract One of the recurring topics in the history of sovereign nation-states is the way in which national identity, and social and cultural differences are dealt with politically. In the Netherlands, that has always had a strong tradition of social citizenship, the government has recently responded to plural nationhood and its problems by turning to new concepts of citizenship. In this article, it is argued that notions of citizenship are, in the end, used to reinforce Dutch sovereignty by creating and maintaining national cohesion. The underlying assumption in public policy is that a strong sense of national citizenship that replaces the old model of social citizenship is the only way to reconcile differences and safeguard peace in contemporary post-industrial society. Three Dutch policy sectors – integration, welfare and child protection – are examined to see how these concepts have taken shape in public policy.
