'EU Citizenship and Federalism is a work of art, not just because of the cover, but especially for its content. Looking through a federal lens, where does EU citizenship stand, how did it get there and where is it going? These questions are at the core of thirty contributions from noted scholars in this impressive volume. What makes this book a work of art is how it reflects not just one side of the issues, but shows numerous opposing views.' David de Groot, Common Market Law Review

Kochenov's definitive collection examines the under-utilised potential of EU citizenship, proposing and defending its position as a systemic element of EU law endowed with foundational importance. Leading experts in EU constitutional law scrutinise the internal dynamics in the triad of EU citizenship, citizenship rights and the resulting vertical delimitation of powers in Europe, analysing the far-reaching constitutional implications. Linking the constitutional question of federalism and citizenship, the volume establishes an innovative new framework where these rights become agents and rationales of European integration and legal change, located beyond the context of the internal market and free movement. It maps the role of citizenship in this shifting landscape, outlining key options for a Europe of the future.
