To what extent has the concept of European citizenship developed since the establishment of the Maastricht Treaty in 1992? In this tightly edited volume, leading experts from across Europe explore this fundamental question and others surrounding the new European Union. They thoroughly describe and analyze the constitutional nature of the European Union, the integration process, the principle of subsidiarity, and the concepts of equality and citizenship. In addition, they examine the rights conferred on citizens, including electoral and other political rights as well as social rights, the status of third-country nationals, and the remedies and means of redress available to European citizens and residents. For anyone studying the Maastricht Treaty and the concept of European citizenship, this book is a must.

`For a range of views on what Europe's constitutional development, present and furture, might mean for the Union's individual citizens, readers should turn to A Citizens' Europe' - Government and Opposition

`The 1992 Maastricht Treaty included a major step in the evolution of the notion of citizenship in the EU. Few express rights sprung into existence. Yet, this treatment addresses the symbolic value of this facet of European integration. The ten individually authored chapters thus cover the legal and political implications for the EU's evolution.... Readers and authors seeking an approach to citizenship as an important feature of organizational integration should consider this work - one of the few publications addressing this critical adjunct of EU development. It is well-edited and documented' - American Society of International Law, Interest Group on the UN Decade of International Law Newsletter
