Introduction : the rescaling of territory and citizenship in Europe
Jean-Thomas Arrighi De Casanova & Dejan Stjepanovic
| Résumé |
This Special Issue explores the consequences of past and ongoing
processes of territorial rescaling on citizenship in a theoretical
and comparative perspective. In this introduction, we unpack our
core concept of territorial rescaling and discuss its implications
for the citizenship status and rights of those groups and
individuals who reside in the contested territory or are connected
to it. We show that in the context of the European multilevel
federation, territorial rescaling is rather the norm than the
exception, an inherent feature of ongoing processes of integration
and disintegration instead of an anomaly. The rescaling of
territorial borders invariably leads to the realignment of
membership boundaries. The articles focus on various related
issues, such as the delineation of the franchise in constitutive
referendums; the democratic foundations of multilevel secession;
and citizenship in ‘aspiring’ states ( e.g. Catalonia and
Scotland), ‘new’ states (e.g. the Successor States of Former
Yugoslavia) and ‘contested’ states (e.g. Kosovo and the Turkish
Republic of Northern Cyprus). |
