Abstract

This Essay sketches the idea of creedal citizenship, where citizenship results from a persons agreement with a set of principles that define the nation of citizenship. Some nations already include elements of creedal citizenship in their self-definitions, and the common practice of requiring some degree of civic knowledge as a predicate for naturalization reflects some ideas associated with creedal citizenship. But, in its pure form, creedal citizenship would disconnect citizenship from territory entirely, yet without moving to world citizenship or requiring open borders. Creedal citizenship is of course not a realistic policy option anywhere today, but exploring its conceptual contours may illuminate some areas of current controversy.

本文概述了理想公民权的概念，即公民权源于一个人对界定公民权国家的一系列原则的认同。一些国家已经在其自我定义中包含了信念公民权的要素，要求具备一定程度的公民知识作为入籍前提的普遍做法反映了与信念公民权相关的一些理念。但是，在其纯粹的形式下，信条公民将完全脱离公民身份与领土的关系，但不会转变为“世界公民身份”，也不会要求开放边界。理想公民当然不是当今任何地方的现实政策选择，但探索其概念轮廓可能会阐明当前争议的一些领域。

期刊介绍： Issues in Legal Scholarship presents cutting-edge legal and policy research using the format of online peer-reviewed symposia. The journal’s emphasis on interdisciplinary work and legal theory extends to recent symposium topics such as Single-Sex Marriage, The Reformation of American Administrative Law, and Catastrophic Risks. The symposia systematically address emerging issues of great significance, offering ongoing scholarship of interest to a wide range of policy and legal researchers. Online publication makes it possible for other researchers to find the best and latest quickly, as well as to join in further discussion. Each symposium aims to be a living forum with ongoing publications and commentaries.
