„The Right to Have Rights“ in Theory of Citizenship beyond Sovereignty
The institution of citizenship is characterized by its ambivalence with regard to the notions
(and values) of inclusion/exclusion, rights/disempowerment, belonging/otherness.
Historically and conceptually, citizenship has been developing in symbiosis with the ideas of
equality, freedom, protection of rights and full membership in the political community. In
this respect its emancipatory legacy is beyond doubt. In addition, the critique of abstractness
of human rights, mostly developed by Hannah Arendt, influenced contemporary assertions
that human rights and freedoms have little significance outside the framework of the state
institution of citizenship. On the other hand, one could claim that citizenship represents
legalized discrimination as it a priori presupposes a distinction between citizens and non-citizens as legitimate. Moreover, as citizenship one holds predetermines to a great extent
one's lif...e chances, it can be said to occupy a „pivotal place in the over-all segmentary
architecture of the nation-state system“ (Brubaker). This citizenship paradox, its
simultaneous emancipative and discriminative role, reveals itself more openly when
confronted with the problems of refugees, irregular migration and statelessness. This paper
analyzes these tensions and questions the possibility of their overcoming within the
framework of the so-called citizenship beyond sovereignty.
