Framing Citizens Identities: the construction of personal identities in new modes of government in the Netherlands

Framing Citizens Identities: the construction of personal identities in new modes of government in the Netherlands

Simone Fennell
0/5 ( ratings)
The image of citizens plays a key role in citizen and government relationships, and identifiability is perceived relevant in many contexts of public administration. This is particularly the case where citizens can exercise rights and claim benefits, and for various purposes, like administration and registration, public safety, security, general law enforcement, policy-making, citizen mobility, and, more generally, to exercise control. Citizen identities, as constructed and maintained by government, are changing in the information age: they become ever richer and more complete. Information from different sources is linked together to form comprehensive accounts of individuals. Simple records pertaining to clients or citizens are increasingly enriched by other data to form more complete pictures of the individuals involved. Up to now, this mainly concerned data provided by the individuals themselves, or on the interpretation or decision of the record keepers . More and more personal data is and will be processed from other sources, as a result of new technologies and applications, like Radio Frequency Identification, biometrics, Location-Based Services, profiling, data mining, and ubiquitous computing. This trend includes the processing of relatively new kinds of personal data, such as location and behavioral data, and the identifiability of more objects and persons because of an increased use of unique identifying numbers. Additionally, personal data is stored more extensively, for example, as a result of camera surveillance, Internet usage, and Digital Rights Management. Moreover, data becomes increasingly accessible as a result of digitalization, linking, and automatic recognition, as well as technology convergence and tracking and tracing individuals from a distance. Increased personal-data intensity and sophisticated methods of analyzing data, like data mining, lead to more complex identities of individuals. What these identities amount to is relatively unclear, as is their impact on policy making, execution, and citizens. This book provides a conceptual framework for 'identity' and other related concepts, and it explores, both theoretically and empirically, how socio-technological, policy, and legal developments change the construction of citizen identities and, hence, citizen and government relations.
