ABSTRACT
In keeping with the theme of this volume, this chapter explores how the development of European citizenship (EUC) impacts mainstream international relations (IR) and its ability to separate out a distinct zone of international action. More specifically, it asks how EUC affects one of the IR's core enabling conditions – the existence of a conceptually clear and analytically useful inclusion/exclusion binary. Thus, the heart of the chapter analyses the degree to which EUC breaks down, maintains, stratifies, or blurs the ability to determine when an individual is considered included or excluded from a given political community and how that affects IR's ability to compartmentalize socio-political action into distinct levels.
