Editor R. Bauböck Title Migration and citizenship. Legal status, rights and political participation. Publisher Amsterdam University Press Place Amsterdam Title series IMISCOE Reports Year 2006 Pages 128 ISBN 9789053568880 Institute/dept. ISR/EIF - Institute for Urban and Regional Research/Institute for European Integration Research Keywords Political participation/mobilisation; Citizenship/legal status Abstract Citizenship is frequently invoked both as an instrument and goal of immigrant integration. Yet, in migration contexts, citizenship also marks a distinction between members and outsiders based on their different relations to particular states. A migration perspective highlights the boundaries of citizenship and political control over entry and exit as well as the fact that foreign residents remain in most countries deprived of core rights of political participation. This book summarizes current theories and empirical research on the legal status and political participation of migrants in European democracies.
