Invisible Borders

Více o knize

Focusing on the concept of residency in Italy, the book explores its dual role as both a facilitator of rights and a tool for administrative control. Gargiulo delves into the historical and theoretical dimensions of residency, presenting it as a "status border" that defines local citizenship. The analysis highlights how exclusionary mechanisms function as barriers, impacting civic stratification and inclusion. This work enriches discussions on local citizenship, borders, and the exercise of discretionary power within administrative frameworks.
