The question of supranational citizenship is one of the more controversial in EU citizenship 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 and in addition, the essays will explore the question of immigration from third countries from the perspective of Union citizenship.
