In every democratic polity there exist individuals and groups who
hold some but not all of the essential elements of citizenship.
Scholars who study citizenship routinely grasp for shared concepts
and language that identify forms of membership held by migrants,
children, the disabled, and other groups of individuals who, for
various reasons, are neither full citizens nor non-citizens. This
book introduces the concept of semi-citizenship as a means to
dramatically advance debates about individuals who hold some but
not all elements of full democratic citizenship. By analytically
classifying the rights of citizenship and their various
combinations, scholars can typologize semi-citizens and produce
comparisons of different kinds of semi-citizenships and of
semi-citizenships in different states. The book uses theoretical
analysis, historical examples, and contemporary cases of
semi-citizenship to illustrate how normative and governmental
doctrines of citizenship converge and conflict, making
semi-citizenship an enduring and inevitable part of democratic
politics.
