Citizenship has provided a focus for many of the most significant arguments about justice and democracy. Major theorists of justice, for instance, have tried to understand its contours by thinking through the question of what rights and entitlements fellow citizens ought to enjoy. As a result, theoretical reflection on both justice and democracy has generally taken the form of asking what justice or democracy requires in the context of a single political community, in effect, the nation-state. Faced with the limitations of this kind of approach, increasing numbers of theorists are arguing that both democracy and justice need to be de-coupled from the nation-state and re-imagined in other, trans-national or global contexts. But even those who think we are heading towards a 'cosmopolitan' world order in which nation states have lost their significance are keen to retain the concept of citizenship, albeit whilst arguing for a redrawing of its boundaries.
This book explores the continued ability of the concept of citizenship to do important work in spelling out what a commitment to justice and democracy implies in a world marked by inequalities, migration flows, and various historical injustices, whilst at the same time addressing profound questions about the boundaries of citizenship, participation and political membership. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy.
