The Contested Politics of Belonging: Citizenship, Identity and the Politics of Inclusion

Abstract

This panel asks how the politics of belonging is contested, developed, challenged, and withdrawn across different democratic contexts today. Analysing national and transnational sites, populist discourses, challenges to sovereignty, and how everyday identity manifests, it identifies citizenship as a key framework for organising shared identities and for defining who (can) belong in (non)democratic contexts.
