Dimitry Kochenov: 'Having no borders is not really as radical as it might seem'
Accounts of the glories and dignity of citizenship are everywhere, yet it is the arbitrariness, violence, and servility attending the concept that we must focus on when we interrogate it, argues Dimitry Kochenov, an expert on citizenship, nationality, and immigration law, in his book 'Citizenship'.
