Citizenship Policies in the New Europe
The two most recent EU enlargements in May 2004 and in January 2007 have greatly increased the diversity of historic experiences and contemporary conceptions of statehood, nation-building and citizenship within the Union. How did newly formed states determine who would become their citizens? How do countries relate to their large emigrant communities, to ethnic kin minorities in neighbouring countries and to minorities in their own territory? And to which extent have their citizenship policies been affected by new immigration and integration into the European Union? Citizenship Policies in the New Europe describes the citizenship laws in each of the twelve new countries as well as in the accession states Croatia and Turkey and analyses their historical background. Citizenship Policies in the New Europe complements two volumes on Acquisition and Loss of Nationality in the fifteen old Member States published in the same series in 2006.

Citizenship : what everyone needs to know
\"Citizenship is a like the air we breathe; it's all around us but often goes unnoticed. That is not a historically ordinary situation. Citizenship was once an exceptional status, a kind of aristocracy of the ancient world in which freedom and political voice were not taken for granted. Even as the nation-state emerged as the primary form of human association, citizenship remained an anomalous status, reserved for the few who were privileged as such in republican democracies. More recently, it has been the individual marker of membership in all national communities. It is generic; almost everyone has it, hence the ubiquity that has made it sometimes unseen. Most people never change the citizenship that they are unthinkingly born into; they have no cause to consider it any more critically than their choice of parents. Insofar as citizenship during the twentieth century came to be aligned with national community on the ground and in the public imagination, there was even less reason to look at it searchingly\"-- Provided by publisher.

A Stitch in Time? Mutual Trust as the EU’s Fix-All in Case C-183/23
In Case C-183/23, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled on the legality of Malta’s investor citizenship scheme, holding that national citizenship cannot be acquired on a purely transactional basis. Since Union citizenship is automatically conferred upon the acquisition of national citizenship, the Court anchored the former in the EU value of solidarity, effectively imposing analogous conditions on the latter. The judgment further reinforced this reasoning by invoking the principle of mutual trust, which serves as the constitutional foundation for the cross-border recognition of national citizenship and the derived rights of Union citizenship. This landmark ruling is significant for two key reasons: first, it explicitly links Union citizenship to mutual trust, and second, it frames the free movement of Union citizens as a concrete expression of the values enshrined in Article 2 TEU. However, uncertainties remain regarding the judgment’s future implications – particularly whether Member States may refuse to recognise Union citizenship status and its derived rights, or whether more generally the disapplication of a measure based on mutual trust could simultaneously protect an EU value while infringing individual rights. This would be an exceptional, and therefore extremely unlikely, outcome, which raises questions about the reliance on mutual trust (dealing with the effects of citizenship acquisition in other Member States) in an infringement action against a Member State concerning an administrative mechanism for the award of national citizenship in that Member State (dealing with the citizenship status itself).
