Edge case: A Polish border post
Many professionals, including the doctors in Médecins Sans Frontières, now move regularly across borders in the course of their work. But what do these movements 'across borders' mean for citizenship? Below, Engin Isin sets out his original idea of 'Citizens Without Frontiers'.
The Monogamy Gap will also be discussed - the idea that 70 per cent of men will cheat.

Thinking Allowed is on BBC Radio 4 at 4.00pm, Wednesday 15th February. For further broadcast details, and to listen again, visit bbc.co.uk
