A Citizens′ Europe : In Search of a New Order

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.
