Beschreibung
This open access book critically re-examines the theoretical and empirical interconnections between integration and citizenship, specifically, naturalisation. With new, empirical-grounded analyses of what we term the “life of citizenship,” the central, shared contribution is showcasing how membership is informally achieved through everyday integration —usually around, but sometimes in spite of, formal citizenship requirements. By providing evidence of a nexus disjuncture, the book contributes to critical dialogues on immigrant integration and political incorporation, relevant for policymakers, civil society actors, and academics alike.

“This volume takes stock and re-opens the debate on the link between citizenship and integration in Europe. It examines citizenship as legal status, rights, and belonging and investigates public policies and discourses about citizenship as well as its manifestation in urban spaces and migrants’ everyday experiences. A rich and multi-faceted collection of original papers that makes an important contribution.” (Professor Rainer Bauböck, European University Institute, Florence)
“Who should be a citizen and what it means to belong to a nation or state are increasingly urgent questions in the contemporary moment of hardened borders and barriers to movement and migration. This rich and important book revisits these questions in the context of Europe, providing up-to-date analysis of different state’s approach to citizenship and integration and – equally crucially - explores the lived experience of migrants living under and through these bureaucratic processes.” (Professor Bridget Bryne, University of Manchester)
“This is an illuminating set of contributions examining current developments in the relationship between formal citizenship and the integration of immigrants in Europe. At a range of levels and settings, diverse approaches are brought to bear on evolving policies and their outcomes, and the practice and experience of integration and citizenship processes on the ground.” (Associate Professor Emeritus, Iseult Honohan, University College Dublin)
