Description

This book explores the fundamental principles of democratic inclusion in different types of polity. It examines how citizenship and access to citizenship can be specified and justified for non-citizen immigrants and non-resident citizens, as well as how norms governing citizenship can vary.

The author discusses three key principles: including all affected interests (AAI), all subject to coercion (ASC), and all citizenship stakeholders (ACS). These principles complement each other, serving distinct purposes of democratic inclusion. The book proposes a relation between an individual or group with an inclusion claim and a political community aiming for democratic legitimacy.

It also explores how the principle of stakeholder inclusion applies to different types of polities, distinguishing between state, local, and regional policies. The book considers the contrast between consensual and automatic modes of inclusion, including birthright acquisition of citizenship versus naturalization through application.
