This article has two interrelated aims. First, the article goes beyond law and places the discussions on nationality in the broader literature on citizenship, also drawing on social sciences, political theory and moral philosophy. The ensuing conceptual, historical and multi-disciplinary account highlights the long pedigree of the idea of citizenship, the manifold conceptions of citizenship that have developed over time (including supra-national, sub-national and transnational citizenship). The article demonstrates how the changing spatialities of citizenship culminated in a focus on the nation-state, and the emergence of legal citizenship or nationality, reflecting the legal bond between an individual and a state. It was also noted that in several respects the parameters of nationality keep changing. More particularly, four developments have been highlighted that circumscribe the sovereign right of states to determine who are their nationals, both legally and through de facto pressures. Secondly, this contribution provides the overarching framework for the special issue while identifying the salient discussion points regarding nationality and international law that will be teased out in the articles of the special issue. The article ends with a brief overview of the articles that make up the special issue.

国籍的变化参数

本文有两个相互关联的目标。首先，这篇文章超越了法律，将关于国籍的讨论置于更广泛的关于公民身份的文献中，还借鉴了社会科学、政治理论和道德哲学。随后的概念、历史和多学科说明突出了公民思想的悠久血统，随着时间的推移发展起来的多种公民概念（包括超国家、次国家和跨国公民）。本文展示了公民身份的空间变化如何最终导致对民族国家的关注，以及合法公民身份或国籍的出现，反映了个人与国家之间的法律纽带。还指出，国籍的参数在若干方面不断变化。更特别的是，突出强调了四项发展限制了国家在法律上和通过事实上的压力确定谁是其国民的主权权利。其次，这一贡献为特刊提供了总体框架，同时确定了将在特刊文章中梳理出的有关国籍和国际法的突出讨论点。文章的结尾是对构成特刊的文章的简要概述。这一贡献提供了特刊的总体框架，同时确定了将在特刊文章中梳理出的关于国籍和国际法的主要讨论点。文章的结尾是对构成特刊的文章的简要概述。这一贡献提供了特刊的总体框架，同时确定了将在特刊文章中梳理出的关于国籍和国际法的主要讨论点。文章的结尾是对构成特刊的文章的简要概述。
