Citizenship Acquisition and National Belonging: Migration, Membership and the Liberal Democratic State

by Gideon Calder, Jonathan Seglow, Phillip Cole

Invoked by politicians, promoted in policy, and sought by migrants, citizenship is a crucial marker of what makes being a member of society valuable, and of what membership entails in a world of fluid boundaries. This volume explores questions of admission to the state and to citizenship, the justifiability of criteria and the impact of exclusions.
