Description

Book Synopsis
Citizenship presents two faces. Within a political community, it stands for inclusion and universalism, but to outsiders, citizenship means exclusion. Examining alienage and alienage law, this book explores the dilemmas of inclusion and exclusion inherent in the practices and institutions of citizenship in liberal democratic societies.

Trade Review
"The Citizen and the Alien represents a crucial contribution to an intensifying but theoretically ungrounded debate on the sustainability of currently defined democratic principles in an era of extensive transnational migration."--Marketa Rulikova, Central European Journal of International and Security Studies
