Citizenship is a central concept in political philosophy,
bridging theory and practice and marking out those who belong and
who share a common civic status. The injustices suffered by
immigrants, disabled people, the economically inactive and others
have been extensively catalogued, but their disadvantages have
generally been conceptualised in social and/or economic terms, less
commonly in terms of their status as members of the polity and
hardly ever together, as a group.
This volume seeks to investigate the partial citizenship which
these groups share and in doing so to reflect upon civic
marginalisation as a distinct kind of normative wrong. For example,
it is not often considered that children, though their lack of
civic and political rights are marginal citizens and thus have
something in common with other marginalised groups. Each of the
book s chapters explores some theoretical or practical aspect of
marginal citizenship, and the volume as a whole engages with
pressing debates in law and political theory, such as the limits of
democratic inclusion, the character of social justice, the
integration of migrants, and the enfranchisement of prisoners and
children.
This book was published as a special issue of the Critical
Review of Social and Political Philosophy.
