Description
This special issue investigates the fundamental question of who belongs within the boundaries of the nation-state, examining the complex relationship between immigration law, citizenship rights, and constitutional frameworks. Edited by Austin Sarat, the volume brings together scholarly perspectives on how legal systems construct and enforce notions of legality in immigration contexts.
The collection addresses critical contemporary issues surrounding immigration policy, constitutional interpretation, and the lived experiences of migrants navigating complex legal systems. Contributors analyze how citizenship laws determine inclusion and exclusion, the role of courts in interpreting immigration statutes, and the political dimensions of belonging in democratic societies.
By combining legal analysis with broader socio-political examination, this work contributes to ongoing debates about national sovereignty, human rights, and the constitutional foundations of immigration law. It offers essential insights for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to understand how legal frameworks shape immigration outcomes and determine membership in political communities.
