Twenty-First Century Banishment: Citizenship Stripping in Common Law Nations
Development summary
Sangeetha Pillai and George Williams address the substantial expansion of citizenship-revocation laws in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia as a counter-terrorism response. They detail the development and use of those laws, while critically assessing the extent to which they move citizenship away from fundamental common-law principles and the ways in which that shift has been justified.
