Waiting periods and deadlines are so ubiquitous that we often take them for granted. Yet they form a critical part of any democratic architecture. When a precise moment or amount of time is given political importance, we ought to understand why this is so. The Political Value of Time explores the idea of time within democratic theory and practice. Elizabeth F. Cohen demonstrates how political procedures use quantities of time to confer and deny citizenship rights. Using specific dates and deadlines, states carve boundaries around a citizenry. As time is assigned a form of political value it comes to be used to transact over rights. Cohen concludes with a normative analysis of the ways in which the devaluation of some people's political time constitutes a widely overlooked form of injustice. This book shows readers how and why they need to think about time if they want to understand politics.

In every democratic polity there exist individuals and groups who hold some but not all of the essential elements of citizenship. Scholars who study citizenship routinely grasp for shared concepts and language that identify forms of membership held by migrants, children, the disabled, and other groups of individuals who, for various reasons, are neither full citizens nor non-citizens. This book introduces the concept of semi-citizenship as a means to dramatically advance debates about individuals who hold some but not all elements of full democratic citizenship. By analytically classifying the rights of citizenship and their various combinations, scholars can typologize semi-citizens and produce comparisons of different kinds of semi-citizenships and of semi-citizenships in different states. The book uses theoretical analysis, historical examples, and contemporary cases of semi-citizenship to illustrate how normative and governmental doctrines of citizenship converge and conflict, maki

雖然很容易忘記，但我想去想去的地方、見想見的人。 待在家無法創造回憶，看起來愈蠢的事做起來愈開心， 寂寞時就拿寂寞當藉口去撒嬌又何妨。 一如直到踏進浴室前一刻都覺得洗澡很麻煩一樣， 旅行這種事只要去了就不太會後悔，所以最好是去。 不過，當這麼做都不能解決問題時，我們只能發動戰爭。 沒有朋友、沒有恩師、沒有戀人，喜歡的人喜歡的人不是我。 沒有夢想、興趣、專長。 Instagram、Twitter、Y
