Abstract
The possibility of attaining plural citizenship is an issue which divides political opinion. In relation to the formation of transnational democratic institutions especially, theoretical questions arise as well: Is plural citizenship both on and above state level in democracies of different forms and sizes possible and justified?
Anna Meine reconstructs recent debates on transnational citizenship, territorial rights and naturalisation, and on plural nationalities and cosmopolitan and European Union citizenship. By means of the idea of complementarity, she develops a conception of forms of plural citizenship in democracies which both complement and contradict each other. Linking these thoughts to the contributions Jürgen Habermas, James Bohman and Seyla Benhabib have made to questions of forming transnational democratic institutions, she not only opens up a new perspective on theoretical discussions, but also explores institutional spaces, boundaries and forms of plural membership in transnational orders.
