One of the greatest joys in the life of an academic is when your brightest colleagues gang together to meticulously and carefully show precisely all the many ways in which you are wrong :) Now to see how much of my argument I can salvage. My reply will be published shortly.

4. Instead, I defend renunciation as expressive political exit. It is a way for citizens to formally sever political ties while staying socially embedded. It’s distinct from emigration: it retains membership in society while withdrawing consent.

5. a right to renounce without emigrating strengthens autonomy and democratic legitimacy. It places less burden on dissenters and offers a more consistent account of citizenship. /end

2. The article opens with a dilemma: long-term resident noncitizens can refuse to naturalise, but citizens often can’t renounce unless they leave. Either citizenship for residents should be mandatory, or renunciation without emigration should be permitted.

1. I argue that citizens should be able to renounce their citizenship while remaining residents. The current norm (both in law and normative theory) ties renunciation to emigration. But I argue that this link deserves rethinking.

That is the theory in a nutshell. This is a premilinary exploration into this question, so hopefully more on this shortly. Looking forward to hear what you think in the meantime! [5]

⚡❗New Entry ⚡❗ Does historical injustice create a right to citizenship, or is it just a policy choice? @liorerez.bsky.social argues that reparative citizenship isn’t a right – it is permissible but not required. States may offer it, but they don’t have to. 🇪🇸🇵🇹⚖️ 🔗 globalcit.eu/citizenship-...

Is there such a thing as 'permissible inclusion'? We argue that political theory is divided: Either the state has the right to determine its own membership rules (=Yes), or membership rules are determined by an external normative theory (e.g. jus nexi), and then No. [3]

In our way out of this impasse, the conditional view, we argue that the right to self-determination does allow a freedom to include, which is limited by the equal right to self-determination of other states. The limits arise from the value of self-determination itself [4]

In this article, instead of asking when do individuals have a claim to be included, we ask whether (and when) may the state can include individuals who do not have such a claim. Consider cases of citizenship by investment or granting citizenship to athletes. [2]
