Rezensionen
"[A] spirited contribution to the MIT Press s Essential Knowledge series. Kochenov sees the institution of citizenship, not its byproduct of statelessness, as the real problem. He does not hold back his disdain, defining citizenship as a heritage glorifying servility, racism, sexism, and arbitrary exclusion, a tool for simplifying the world and rendering people governable, a gateway to complacency, intellectual laziness, and oppressive categorizations. Statelessness is a problem only because of how unequal and arbitrary the institution of citizenship is to begin with: it is assigned at birth and seldom earned, so most people never have a say in it. Further, the mythology of the equality of different nationalities only makes things worse: it leads us to believe that any citizenship should be sufficient for meeting the needs of individuals." The New York Review of Books

"Kochenov's book should be a wake-up call for constitutional and international theorists and practitioners to promote an agenda for redefining citizenship as well as the structures governing it." International Journal of Constitutional Law
