Delivering citizenship

Más información sobre el libro

The 21st century is heralded as an “Age of Mobility,” with increasing migration worldwide from diverse backgrounds. As Europe and North America experience significant inflows, concerns arise regarding their capacity to integrate newcomers. Citizenship has become a central issue in this discourse, intertwining with identity, belonging, and societal participation, including voting rights. Governments recognize the necessity of deepening their understanding of citizenship, which has evolved from a static legal concept to a dynamic tool for fostering the political incorporation and integration of immigrants. This book represents a significant contribution from the Transatlantic Council on Migration, offering policy insights into the citizenship debate. It reflects the discussions and perspectives of prominent political figures, policymakers, and innovative thinkers from the USA and Europe. The Council, an initiative of the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) in Washington, DC, collaborates with the Bertelsmann Stiftung and the European Policy Centre, alongside the King Baudouin Foundation, to address these pressing issues.
