| Summary/Abstract |
I’m grateful to Eduard Murumbwa and Caio Simoneti for organising this roundtable, and for inviting David Baluarte, Theodor Christov, Benjamin Mueser, and Zainab Olaitan to respond to Statelessness: A Modern History. The reviewers in this symposium represent the audiences that I hoped would engage with the book, and I owe my thanks to them for the richness of their reflections, as well as to the 2022 Francesco Guicciardini Prize committee. It is a particular privilege that Charles Maier agreed to write an introduction for the roundtable since I have learned so much from him and his work on the history of modern statehood.

| Summary/Abstract |
Mira Siegelberg has written an important and challenging book. It began as a doctoral dissertation that I was privileged to discuss with her as it took shape. The dissertation, in turn, originated with a profound question that presented both theoretical and practical challenges and I believe has continued as the underlying thread: what does statelessness imply in a world covered by and divided into states? How is it conceptually and legally accommodated? How does the condition of statelessness help define the world of nation-states? What is the civic status of the stateless subject, often expelled from his or her homeland, who lacks the credentials to claim entry elsewhere? To this end, Siegelberg has immersed herself in a century and a half of difficult legal thought, some of it well-known, but a great deal unearthed as the usually ignored articulations of our everyday practices.
