Negotiating Citizenship in an Era of Globalization

Abstract

Contemporary international migration poses a major challenge to modern conceptions of citizenship. It generates complex and multifaceted relationships of individuals to territories, nation-states, labour markets, communities and households. Perhaps more than any other process associated with globalization, international migration highlights the tensions between the universalistic claims of modern nation-state citizenship and its particularistic, and thus inequitable workings. Migration and immigration policies of liberal democratic states are implicitly and often explicitly discriminatory in class, racial, regional and national origins, linguistic, gender and other terms. Moreover, their discriminatory character is legitimated by international law and its interpretation within national jurisprudence that affirms and treats as self-evident the centrality of immigration control to the doctrine of strong, national, territorially based sovereignty.6
