Liav Orgad

Legal scholar and researcher specializing in citizenship, constitutional law, and digital identity. Co-author (with Wouter Reijers and Primavera De Filippi) of “The Rise of Cybernetic Citizenship” (Citizenship Studies, 2023), which explores how digital networks are reshaping citizenship beyond territorial definitions. His work directly informs the Network Nations framework’s conception of voluntary citizenship and networked population.

Orgad’s scholarship addresses the question of what it means to be a citizen in an era of networked communities — challenging the Westphalian assumption that citizenship must be tied to territorial residency. His contributions to the Network Nations podcast explore the normative and legal dimensions of “what makes a nation” and who belongs to one.
