This book provides a framework for comparing EU citizenship and US
citizenship as standards of equality. If we wish to understand the
legal development of the citizenship of the European Union and its
relationship to the nationalities of the member states, it is
helpful to examine the history of United States citizenship and, in
particular, to elaborate a theory of 'duplex' citizenships found in
federal orders. In such a citizenship, each person's citizenship is
necessarily 'layered' with the citizenship or nationality of a
(member) state. The question this book answers is: how does federal
citizenship, as a claim to equality, affect the relationship
between the (member) state and its national or citizen? Because the
book places equality, not allegiance to a sovereign at the center
of its analysis of citizenship, it manages to escape traditional
analyses of the EU that measure it by the standard of a sovereign
state. The text presents a coherent account of the development of
EU citizenship and EU civil rights for those who wish to understand
their continuing development in the case law of the Court of
Justice of the European Union. Scholars and legal practitioners of
EU law will find novel insights in this book into how EU
citizenship works, in order to be able to grasp the direction in
which it will continue to develop. And it may be of great interest
to American scholars of law and political science who wish to
understand one aspect of how the EU works as a constitutional
order, not merely as an order of international law, by comparison
to their own history. Jeremy Bierbach is an attorney at Franssen
Advocaten in Amsterdam. He holds a Ph.D. in European constitutional
law from the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
