Preface ix The outcome provides those who lack the time to plough through thick piles of journal articles and books with a concise overview of debates that are not purely academic, since they are conducted in a non-technical language and reflect concerns that are widely discussed among policy makers and engaged citizens. Together with its companion volume ‘Debating European Citizenship’ this book will hopefully also be used widely for teaching students what citizenship is about and what challenges it currently faces.
