Abstract

Based on an exploratory literature review, this article focuses on the substantive sense of citizenship in the context of second-generation migrants in Scandinavia. Through a theoretical framework that dives into the two terms of citizenship and belonging and a discussion of the relevant findings from the existing literature, the article aims to investigate the following research question: How can the politics of belonging interfere with citizenship? The article concludes that an individual need to feel a sense of belonging to a community in order to be fully a citizen or member of the given state, nation, or area in a substantive sense.
