Research Handbook on European Union Citizenship Law and Policy

Edited by Dora Kostakopoulou, Chair of the Scientific Committee of the Fundamental Rights Agency of the European Union and KU Leuven, Belgium and Daniel Thym, Professor, University of Konstanz, Germany

‘This milestone Research Handbook is a must-read for researchers of the law and policy of European Union citizenship. It interrogates and recasts Union citizenship as a concept, as a vector of rights, and as a social experience; highlighting significant research questions at national, transnational and supranational levels as well as at their intersection. Its timely consideration of the implications for Union citizenship of Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic and its emphasis on enhancing relationships with the Union’s nearest neighbours have produced a collection that reflects an unsettling era of challenge and change yet remains rooted in deep legal and theoretical foundations.’
