Description
Explore the pressing issues surrounding statelessness and its intricate relationship with modern governance in 'Statelessness, Governance, and the Problem of Citizenship.' This enlightening book presents a paradigm shift, probing the real 'problem' of citizenship rather than merely focusing on the plight of stateless individuals. You'll discover how governance structures influence citizenship and the multifaceted challenges that arise when individuals are not recognized as citizens in any nation. Through insightful contributions from diverse voices, including activists, lawyers, and policy experts, the book scrutinizes the mechanisms of global, regional, and national governance in relation to citizenship rights. This volume offers a robust framework for understanding the complexities of citizenship and statelessness, whilst arguing that the state of being stateless highlights deeper issues that need attention. Designed for academics, practitioners, and anyone invested in human rights and public policy, this important work invites dialogue on how we can rethink the governance of citizenship in today's interconnected world. Perfect for enhancing your library on governance studies or human rights.

Description:
When a person is not recognised as a citizen anywhere, they are typically referred to as â€stateless’. This can give rise to challenges both for individuals and for the institutions that try to govern them. Statelessness, governance, and the problem of citizenship breaks from tradition by relocating the â€problem’ to be addressed from one of statelessness to one of citizenship. It problematises the governance of citizenship – and the use of citizenship as a governance tool – and traces the â€problem of citizenship’ from global and regional governance mechanisms to national and even individual levels.With contributions from activists, affected persons, artists, lawyers, academics, and national and international policy experts, this volume rejects the idea that statelessness and stateless persons are a problem. It argues that the reality of statelessness helps to uncover a more fundamental challenge: the problem of citizenship.
