Mobility and Rights in the Portuguese-speaking World: A Lusophone Citizenship in Bits and Pieces

Documents

Description: This paper explores the goal of enhanced international mobility within the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) since 1996, often linked to the idea of a “Lusophone citizenship.” Although a formal Lusophone citizenship has not been established, legal advances have created various ways for nationals of member states to access mobility and rights through multilateral, bilateral, and domestic agreements. The paper examines the legal statuses CPLP nationals hold when moving within the CPLP region and compares these to the expectations of Lusophone citizenship based on draft treaties, policies, and academic discussions. It also provides background on the CPLP’s history and the origins of the Lusophone citizenship concept.
