Correct answer: (B) Van Gunsteren — The remark that the concept of citizenship had gone out of fashion among political thinkers is attributed to Herman van Gunsteren.
Explanation
★The remark that the concept of citizenship had gone out of fashion among political thinkers is attributed to Herman van Gunsteren.
★He used this observation to note how citizenship, long neglected, returned to the centre of political theory in the late twentieth century.
★Van Gunsteren is known for his work on citizenship and political participation, including A Theory of Citizenship (1998).
★Vogel and Moran edited a volume on the frontiers of citizenship, but the line is not theirs.
★Habermas is associated with constitutional patriotism and Galston with liberal civic virtues, so neither is the source of this statement.
★So Van Gunsteren is the correct answer.
