Supranational Citizenship
This book offers a conception of citizenship that is independent of any specific form of political organisation, while being compatible with multiple levels of political institutionalisation. Its de-contextualised account of citizenship differs from both cosmopolitan and nation-statist accounts. Using that conception, the book addresses topical and normative debates in one particular transnational political association: the European Union. Bringi…

These are focused through debates as to whether the EU can lay claim to a demos, how state‐like it may be, and whether it should have a written Constitution. This paper engages these debates from a standpoint informed by the philosophy of Alan Gewirth, in which political institutions are norm…
