Item Open Access Patrolling the boundaries of belonging? Courts, law and citizenship(Elgar, 2019) Conant, Lisa; Hofmann, Andreas; Soennecken, Dagmar; Vanhala, LisaThis chapter explores how courts and law have contributed to the evolution of citizenship. Theoretically, it draws on Christian Joppkeās distinctions between citizenship as status, rights, and identity as a means to analyse different facets of belonging within political communities. Substantively, it emphasizes the United States (US) and European Union (EU) as historical projects where law and courts were particularly important in constructing national and supranational citizenship, respectively. It also examines tensions evident in postnational memberships, such as the de facto partial citizenship of unauthorized immigrants and exclusion of many refugees from any citizenship.
