“Banishment is back.” That’s the assessment by one prominent legal scholar as countries start to strip terrorists of their citizenship – sometimes rendering them stateless in refugee camps in Syria and the world’s other distant battlefields.

This week on Wake we’ll look at the legality and practicality of denationalization, and consider whether fear of returning terrorists is pushing western countries to toss out the established judicial playbook and resort to extraordinary legal tactics we might come to regret.

Helping us to do that are this week's guests:

  • Jo Shaw, Salvesen Chair of European Institutions, University of Edinburgh School of Law
  • Peter J. Spiro, co-director, Institute for International Law and Public Policy, Temple University School of Law
