Description
Summary:In this study the author aims to bring to the fore a number of less “visible” aspects of the construction of European citizenship, specifically those relating to the citizenship statute for immigrants from outside the Community, their rights, their access to citizenship, understood as a good. He attempts situate them in relation with the possibilities that appear to have opened up in the context of the EU following the “proclamation” of the Charter of BasicRights at the Nice Summit in December 2000. This charter includes a specific chapter on citizenship (Chapter V), which in conjunction with Articles 61 and 63 of the Amsterdam Treaty of 1997, constitutes a framework for defining European citizenship.
