Deciding how to handle the return of the radicalized—and their dependents—is no easy issue. Some countries seek to revoke their citizenship. Yet citizenship revocation has unclear impact and raises deep questions about the limits of a state’s responsibility to its citizens, as this article explores.

Authoritarian states have long attempted to restrict citizens’ movement. But what happens when their reach extends beyond their borders?
