This commentary asks what would change about the analyses in AE’s “Citizenship, Solidarity, and Nonbelonging” forum if the state were not assumed as the background. Using research on unrecognized states and their citizens, the commentary urges a return to the problem of sovereignty that takes seriously the desires that sovereignty evokes. Doing so, it argues, can help us understand the shape that political belonging might take beyond the nation‐state.

公民权、代理权和主权问题


这篇评论询问如果不以国家为背景，AE 的“公民权、团结和非归属”论坛的分析会发生什么变化。该评论通过对未被承认的国家及其公民的研究，敦促回归主权问题，认真对待主权所引发的愿望。它认为，这样做可以帮助我们理解政治归属可能超越民族国家的形式。
