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.
First published in 1999, this volume examines new forms of cultural
diversity which result from migration and globalization.
Historically, most liberal democracies have developed on the basis
of national cultures - either a single one, or a dominant one, or a
federation of several ones. However, political and economic
developments have upset traditional patterns and have blurred
established boundaries. Ongoing immigration from diverse origins
has inserted new ethnic minorities into formerly homogenous
populations. Democratic liberties and rights provided opportunities
for old and new marginalized minorities to resist assimilation and
to assert identities. The resulting pattern of multiculturalism is
different from earlier ones. Often cultural boundaries are neither
clearly defined nor do they simply dissolve by assimilation into a
dominant group - they have become fuzzy and a constant source of
real or imagined hostility and anxiety. A proliferation of mixed
identities goes together with stronger claims for cultural rights
and escalating hostilities between ethnic minorities and national
majorities. In many countries multiculturalism is today perceived
as a challenge rather than as an enrichment. The book focuses on
the question how institution and policies of liberal democracies
can cope with these trends. The book addresses two tasks: 1) To
compare different national contexts and types of ethnic groups
(immigrant and indigenous, linguistic and religious minorities) and
to discuss how policies of multicultural integration have to be
adapted in order to cope with such differences. 2) To evaluate the
impact of common rends of globalization which link societies and
encourage convergence between national models of multicultural
integration.
The resurgence of nationalism in the nineties has lead to the
development of a growing body of literature on the many dimensions
of this modern phenomena. Nationalism has drawn a new kind of
scholarly attention: first in the social sciences, and then in
moral and political philosophy. It is unfortunate, however, that
most of the stimulating debates around the subject have been
limited by individual disciplinary boundaries. The Politics of
Belonging: Nationalism, Liberalism, and Pluralism represents the
opening of a dialogue between the social sciences, the moral, and
political philosophers. It also bridges the North Atlantic, opening
a discussion between Europeans and North Americans who study
nationalism. Authors in this volume deal with two main questions:
the linkage between political liberalism and nationalism and the
challenge of pluralism. Alain Dieckhoff has brought together an
impressive group of contributors who, together, carry out an
incisive investigation into these debates which are decisive for
fostering democracy in modern nation states. This volume is an an
indispensable resource for anyone dealing with questions of
identity, ethnicity, and nationalism.

This open access book discusses how national citizenship is being
transformed by economic, social and political change. It focuses on
the emergence of global markets where citizenship is for sale and
on how new reproduction technologies impact citizenship by descent.
It also discusses the return of banishment through
denationalisation of terrorist suspects, and the impact of digital
technologies, such as blockchain, on the future of democratic
citizenship. The book provides a wide range of views on these
issues from legal scholars, political scientists, and political
practitioners. It is structured as a series of four conversations
in which authors respond to each other. This exchange of arguments
provides unique depth to current debates about the future of
citizenship.
This open access book raises crucial questions about the
citizenship of the European Union. Is it a new citizenship beyond
the nation-state although it is derived from Member State
nationality? Who should get it? What rights and duties does it
entail? Should EU citizens living in other Member States be able to
vote there in national elections? If there are tensions between
free movement and social rights, which should take priority? And
should the European Court of Justice determine what European
citizenship is about or the legislative institutions of the EU or
national parliaments? This book collects a wide range of answers to
these questions from legal scholars, political scientists, and
political practitioners. It is structured as a series of three
conversations in which authors respond to each other. This exchange
of arguments provides unique depth to the debate.

Contrary to predictions that it would become increasingly redundant
in a globalizing world, citizenship is back with a vengeance. The
Oxford Handbook of Citizenship brings together leading experts in
law, philosophy, political science, economics, sociology, and
geography to provide a multidisciplinary, comparative discussion of
different dimensions of citizenship: as legal status and political
membership; as rights and obligations; as identity and belonging;
as civic virtues and practices of engagement; and as a discourse of
political and social equality or responsibility for a common good.
The contributors engage with some of the oldest normative and
substantive quandaries in the literature, dilemmas that have
renewed salience in today's political climate. As well as setting
an agenda for future theoretical and empirical explorations, this
Handbook explores the state of citizenship today in an accessible
and engaging manner that will appeal to a wide academic and
non-academic audience. Chapters highlight variations in citizenship
regimes practiced in different countries, from immigrant states to
'non-western' contexts, from settler societies to newly independent
states, attentive to both migrants and those who never cross an
international border. Topics include the 'selling' of citizenship,
multilevel citizenship, in-between statuses, citizenship laws,
post-colonial citizenship, the impact of technological change on
citizenship, and other cutting-edge issues. This Handbook is the
major reference work for those engaged with citizenship from a
legal, political, and cultural perspective. Written by the most
knowledgeable senior and emerging scholars in their fields, this
comprehensive volume offers state-of-the-art analyses of the main
challenges and prospects of citizenship in today's world of
increased migration and globalization. Special emphasis is put on
the question of whether inclusive and egalitarian citizenship can
provide political legitimacy in a turbulent world of exploding
social inequality and resurgent populism.
