ABSTRACT
Citizenship introduced a new type of privilege which was protected for some by excluding others. After the revolutions, nation-states are defined by territorial boundaries, which demarcate them from other states and exclude other people and nations. Citizenship shifted exclusion from class to nation, which became a disguised class barrier (Douzinas 2000: 103).
