>
> EUDO, the European Union Democracy Observatory at the Robert Schuman
> Centre for Advanced Studies launches today a new website on
> citizenship in Europe.
>
> EUDO CITIZENSHIPprovides comprehensive analyses and data on
> citizenship laws and policies in all EU member states and six
> neighbouring countries athttp://eudo-citizenship.eu.
>
> In Europe, each country follows its own rules in determining who its
> citizens are. However, the nationals of member states of the
> European Union are also EU citizens who enjoy rights of free
> movement and political participation throughout the Union. The EUDO
> CITIZENSHIPobservatory compares the ways in which citizenship can be
> acquired and lost and documents policy trends such as the growing
> toleration of dual citizenship, the introduction of naturalisation
> tests, or the number of countries in which citizenship can be
> acquired through birth in the territory.
>
> The observatory features new expert reports on the history and
> current regulation of citizenship in each country, searchable
> databases on nationality laws and international legal norms, a
> comprehensive bibliography, a forum for debates, a selection of news
> from the media and other useful tools and information for policy
> makers, NGOs and academics with an interest in citizenship policies.
>
> The project is funded by the European Commission’sEuropean Fund for
> the Integration of Third Country Nationals. Preparatory research was
> carried out within theIMISCOEnetwork of excellence.
>
> We invite you to visit the new observatory.
