Citizenship
Cf.
Issues
Citizens can be created in citizen projects that one can consider in a historical progression.1 The current/upcoming steps are nonhuman beings.
-
biological citizenship (plus consider the extension of this concept as it might apply to nonhuman beings)1,2
-
biovalue, as a result to retain or obtain via management (again, extending to nonhuman populations, such as invasive species, weeds, genetic manipulation, etc.)
This results in a "political economy of hope" that drives investment and decisions to create biovalue because the biology is now manipulable (again, this should apply to nonhuman beings also).1
