Regional integration, mass migration and the development of
transnational organizations are just some of the factors
challenging the traditional definitions of citizenship. In this
important new book, Rainer Baubock argues that citizenship rights
will have to extend beyond nationality and state territory if
liberal democracies are to remain true to their own principles of
inclusive membership and equal basic rights. In Transnational
Citizenship theoretical discussion of the definition and extension
of citizenship rights is combined with comparative policy analysis
on rules of naturalization and expatriation in liberal democratic
states. An important distinction is drawn between nominal
citizenship, which refers to the legal status of membership, and
substantial citizenship, which concerns the distribution of basic
rights in a state. Three areas where states can become more open to
the acceptance of migrants as citizens are suggested:
naturalization, the extension of citizenship rights to non-citizens
and the admission of immigrants. Although the author still regards
citizenship in terms of membership of territorially bounded states,
he argues that it can no longer be defined by the model of national
communities. In exploring what it means to accept migrants as
members of liberal democracies, Rainer Baubock has made a singular
contribution to our understanding of citizenship and the right to
migration. Innovative without being utopian, this important book
will be welcomed by political and sociological theorists, migration
researchers and lawyers concerned with issues of migration and
naturalization.
