Nationhood and citizenship: from producing states to enacting rights (original) (raw)

Handbook on the Governance and Politics of Migration, 2021

Abstract

With this in mind, the chapter proceeds as follows. First, we provide a brief overview and critique of the violent entanglement between nationhood and citizenship. Next, we explore the emergence of ideas around variegated modes and models of citizenship and forms of ‘fractured’ political belonging in transnational times. Finally, we examine how approaches focusing on the relationship between mobility and citizenship recast the politics of belonging as a set of practices – rather than a fixed marker – and as a disputed terrain of everyday struggles. Rather than abandoning the concept of citizenship, putting citizenship ‘in motion’ can cast light on how contemporary forms of enacting citizenship have been connected to, and disruptive of, the boundaries shaping social justice, rights and equality.
