A person who is not recognised as a citizen anywhere is typically referred to as ‘stateless’. Statelessness, governance, and the problem of citizenship redirects focus away from legal analyses of statelessness to uncover a more fundamental ‘problem of citizenship’, and interrogates how citizenship is used as a governance tool around the world.
