This Research Handbook provides a panoramic guide to the study and research of EU citizenship and its development within a challenging environment characterised by restrictive access to social benefits, Brexit, Euroscepticism and Covid-19. It combines theoretical perspectives with analyses of both the existing and future rights, duties and social protection that EU citizens ought to enjoy in a democratic and principled European Union. Featuring expert contributions from scholars both within and outside the discipline of law, the Research Handbook focuses on contemporary challenges facing the EU, such as Brexit, the erosion of rights and issues of constitutional choice for the citizens and governments of Europe, and highlights the reality of incomplete implementation of EU law and the role of the Court of Justice of the EU. A wide range of topics are discussed, featuring, but not limited to, differentiation, EU citizenship and nationality, the European Pillar of Social Rights, academic freedom and restrictions in free movement of persons. The book also applies a forward thinking approach by examining the promise of EU citizenship and the institutional reforms one might envisage in the future. Offering a thought-provoking contribution to ongoing debates and studies in the fields of EU citizenship, European internal market law and policy and European integration, this Research Handbook will be key reading for researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of law, political science, EU studies, and sociology.

The question of supranational citizenship is one of the more controversial in EU law. It is politically contested, the object of prominent court rulings and the subject of intense academic debates. This important new collection examines this vexed question, paying particular attention to the Court of Justice. Offering analytical readings of the key cases, it also examines those political, social and normative factors which influence the evolution of citizens' rights. This examination is not only timely but essential given the prominence of citizen rights in recent political debates, including in the Brexit referendum. All of these questions will be explored with a special emphasis on the interplay between immigration from third countries and rules on Union citizenship.

National rules on immigration and asylum have been transformed in recent years. EU Directives and Regulations, including the relevant case law of the European Court of Justice, have become ever more important - for those working in ministries, immigration authorities, national courts, academia, non-governmental organisations and also for those who are practising lawyers. The fundamentally revised and amended second edition of this book focuses on core legislation, including the Asylum Qualification Directive, the Asylum Procedure and Reception Directives, the Dublin III Regulation, the Border Code, Visa and Frontex Regulations, the Family Reunion Directive, the Blue Card Directive, the Long Term Residents' Directive and the Return Directive.

In der öffentlichen Diskussion erlebt derzeit ein Begriff eine Renaissance, der in Deutschland bisher gemieden wurde: "Rassismus“. Daher müssen sich Rechtswissenschaft und Gesellschaft dringend der Frage stellen, welche verschiedenen Erscheinungsformen des Rassismus es gibt und inwiefern diese von den juristischen Diskriminierungsverboten im deutschen, europäischen und internationalen Recht erfasst werden. Der Band versammelt führende Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler, um einer doppelten Leitfrage auf den Grund zu gehen: Umfassen die Diskriminierungsverbote neben vermeintlich angeborenen Unterschieden auch kulturalisierte Formen des Rassismus? Wie erhält sich das Verbot einer offenen, versteckten oder mittelbaren Diskriminierung zu den Erscheinungsformen eines strukturellen bzw. institutionellen Rassismus, der nicht auf intentionalen Handlungen beruht?
