In this interview with Maarten Prak, hosted by Karen Culver, they discuss Maarten’s book "Citizens without Nations: Urban Citizenship in Europe and the World c. 1000-1789". Maarten discusses how urban citizenship functioned in medieval and early modern Europe.

He demonstrates how this definition of citizen impacts urban and national governance in the period before 1789. This interview was made in cooperation with the CEU Democracy Institute’s on-line journal Review of Democracy.
