The research monograph Equal Citizenship and Its Limits in EU Law:
We the Burden? is a critical study of the scope of EU citizenship
as an 'equal status' of all Member State nationals. The book
re-conceptualises the relationship between the status of EU
citizenship and EU citizens' fundamental right to equal treatment
by asking what indicates the presence of agency in EU law. A
thorough analysis of the case-law is used to support the argument
that the present view of active citizenship in EU law fails to
explain how EU citizens should be treated in relation to one
another and what counts as 'related' for the purposes of equal
treatment in a transnational context. In addressing these
questions, the book responds to the increasing need to find a more
substantive theory of justice for the European Union. The book
suggests that a more balanced view of agency in the case of EU
citizens can be based on the inherent connection between citizens'
agency and their subjectivity. This analysis provides an integrated
philosophical account of transnational equality by showing that a
new source of 'meaningful relationships' for the purposes of equal
treatment arises from recognizing and treating EU citizens as full
subjects of EU law and European integration. The book makes a
significant contribution to the existing scholarship on EU law,
first, by demonstrating that the undefined nature of EU citizenship
is fundamentally a question about transnational justice and not
just about individual rights and, secondly, by introducing a
framework within which the current normative indeterminacy of EU
citizenship can be overcome.
