Citizenship and Displacement

Published on 1 March 2011

Crucial for displaced people is citizenship (or lack of it). They are often denied formal citizenship and rights, yet sometimes able to claim those rights through protest, claim assertion and transnational alliances.

This paper explores the informal processes and feelings of belonging of displaced people, in relation to dynamics in different displacement regimes.
