The concept of supranational European citizenship has become one of the core concepts of the EU?s unique polity. It has, however, been one of the most difficult to actualise. This book examines the challenges of, and barriers to, exercising full citizenship rights for European citizens and considers how they might best be overcome.
Drawing on cutting-edge research from interdisciplinary areas of study, this book examines the key issues surrounding EU citizenship. Reflecting on the diversity of European societies, it identifies, analyses and compares the many barriers that citizens face to fully exercising their rights. With chapters examining key issues from migration to democratic governance and social rights, Moving Beyond Barriers critically analyzes concepts of citizenship and the way that EU citizenship is politically, legally, economically and socially institutionalised, and elaborates alternatives to the current paths of realising EU citizenship.
Citizenship issues feature prominently in the European policy-making agenda and the insights offered by this book will be of benefit to those with an interest in EU law, social and public policy and administration. Policy-makers and practitioners will also benefit from the reflections on citizenship and the practical guidance on how to move beyond current issues regarding EU citizenship.
With chapters from leading researchers in the field, Reconsidering EU Citizenship is an innovative contribution to the lively debate on European and transnational citizenship. Bringing together policy research and reflections from political theory, this book offers an up-to-date critique of the current state of EU citizenship as well as new insights for its future.
As citizenship rights issues become more prominent on the EU policy-making agenda, Reconsidering EU Citizenship will be an invaluable resource to students of EU policy as well as policy-makers and practitioners in the field.

Aktualisierte Neuausgabe (inkl. Nachwort) von John Stuart Mills "Über Sozialismus"
Die anhaltende Diskussion um
die „Krise des Parlamentarismus“ zeigt, dass die normative Begründung und
systematische Bestimmung von Parlamentsfunktionen und demokratischer
Öffentlichkeit von entscheidender Bedeutung für die Zukunft der repräsentativen
Demokratie ist. Das Problem ist aber nicht neu, wie John Stuart Mills
klassischer Text zeigt. Er kreist um die Frage, wie sich die Gefahr einer
»Tyrannei der Mehrheit« mit den Partizipationsanforderungen demokratischen
Regierens versöhnen lässt. Mill begründet darin u. a. ein deliberatives
Verständnis von Politik und erörtert die Gefahren einer bürokratischen
Strangulierung politischer Freiheit. Ein Schlüsselwerk der Demokratietheorie
und Parlamentarismusforschung.
