*The story of how a much-contested legal 
category—statelessness—transformed the international legal order and 
redefined the relationship between states and their citizens.*

Two world wars left millions stranded in Europe. The collapse of empires 
and the rise of independent states in the twentieth century produced an 
unprecedented number of people without national belonging and with 
nowhere to go. *Mira Siegelberg*’s innovative history weaves together 
ideas about law and politics, rights and citizenship, with the intimate 
plight of stateless persons, to explore how and why the problem of 
statelessness compelled a new understanding of the international order 
in the twentieth century and beyond.

In the years following the First World War, the legal category of 
statelessness generated novel visions of cosmopolitan political and 
legal organization and challenged efforts to limit the boundaries of 
national membership and international authority. Yet, as Siegelberg 
shows, the emergence of mass statelessness ultimately gave rise to the 
rights regime created after World War II, which empowered the 
territorial state as the fundamental source of protection and rights, 
against alternative political configurations.

Today we live with the results: more than twelve million people are 
stateless and millions more belong to categories of recent invention, 
including refugees and asylum seekers. By uncovering the ideological 
origins of the international agreements that define categories of 
citizenship and non-citizenship, /Statelessness/ better equips us to 
confront current dilemmas of political organization and authority at the 
global level.
