Ordinary Naturalisation 3. Preferential Naturalisation 4. Loss of Citizenship PART II: ETHNO-CULTURAL CITIZENSHIP 5. A Sovereign Right 6. A Right to Self-Definition 7. A Remedial Right PART III: DIFFERENTIATED MEMBERSHIP 8. Normative Framework 9. The Regulation of Legal and Political Membership ConclusionReviewsThis book combines normative and empirical scrutiny of Europe's citizenship laws. Dumbrava shows why and how these fall short of liberal and democratic standards. As a political theorist, he asks what principles should guide the attribution of citizenship in democratic states; as a comparative political scientist he analyses preferential admission to citizenship on grounds of shared descent, ethnicity and culture in thirty-eight European states. Dumbrava's book does not only demonstrate that there is little convergence towards liberal standards of inclusion. It also develops highly original ideas about the foundations of citizenship. A very important and well-written contribution to a core aspect of democracy. - Rainer Baubock, European University Institute, Italy In this rich and detailed discussion of the role of ethno-cultural preferences in citizenship policies, Costica Dumbrava weaves together original empirical data and normative analyses. He enables us to see both the interpretive puzzles created by the question of what ought to count as an ethno-cultural preference and the normative issues at stake in allowing or forbidding such preferences. This is a valuable contribution. - Joseph Carens, University of Toronto, Canada """This book combines normative and empirical scrutiny of Europe's citizenship laws.
