政治社会学家大卫雅各布森在《跨越国界的权利》一书中认为，自第二次世界大战以来，跨国移民已经影响了公民身份和国家的观念。雅各布森展示了公民身份如何随着政府将权利扩展到外国人口而日益贬值，以及国际人权法如何反过来掩盖了传统的主权定义。雅各布森研究了美国的非法移民和西欧的移民和外国人口，特别关注德国和法国，他展示了这些国家不同的政治文化--德国公民身份的种族基础与美国的政治基础--如何塑造了国内和国际政治。“这本短小但写得很好的书探讨了民族国家当代衰落的一个被忽视的方面。它深入研究了法国，德国和美国区分公民和外国人的标准，从法国人的政治-领土定义到德国人的民族-文化定义。“-弗朗西斯福山，《外交事务》雅各布森挑战学者们重新思考他们对国家的看法。他认为，当前的政治社会学和国际关系理论植根于一些概念，这些概念正在失去其相关性，并对国际关系产生影响。发人深省的书。“-劳伦斯M.弗里德曼，法律和政治书评“很少有人讨论国家和文化身份或公民身份看过移民的法律的后果。大卫雅各布森在他的重要著作中填补了这一空白。-Jeff Spinner-Halev，《美国政治学评论》，对跨国移民与人权规范之间的交叉点做出了令人信服的解释。这将是国际移民和人权学者以及对移民和公民身份问题感兴趣的一般阅读观众感兴趣的”-Debra DeLaet，政治学观点
In Rights across Borders, political sociologist David Jacobson argues that transnational migrations have affected ideas of citizenship and the state since World War II. Jacobson shows how citizenship has been increasingly devalued as governments extend rights to foreign populations and how, in turn, international human rights law has overshadowed traditional definitions of sovereignty. Examining illegal immigration in the United States and migrant and foreign populations in Western Europe, with a special focus on Germany and France, Jacobson shows how the differing political cultures of these countries-the ethnic basis of citizenship in Germany versus its political basis in the United States, for instance-have shaped both domestic and international politics. "This short but well-written book addresses a neglected aspect of the contemporary decline of the nation-state. It studies in depth the criteria by which France, Germany, and the United States distinguish between citizen and alien, from the political-territorial definition of the French to the ethno-cultural one of the Germans."-Francis Fukuyama, Foreign Affairs "Jacobson challenges scholars to rethink their views of the state. Current theories of political sociology and international relations are rooted in conceptions that, he feels, are losing their relevance and bite ...A thought-provoking book."-Lawrence M. Friedman, Law and Politics Book Review "Few people discussing national and cultural identity or citizenship have looked at the legal ramifications of immigration. David Jacobson fills this gap in his important book."-Jeff Spinner-Halev, American Political Science Review "A compelling explanation of the intersection between transnational migration and human rights norms. It will be of interest to scholars of both international migration and human rights as well as a general reading audience interested in questions regarding immigration and citizenship"-Debra DeLaet, Perspectives on Political Science
