EU Citizenship Law (autor: Niamh Nic Shuibhne, Oxford University Press, 2023)

Abstract

“EU Citizenship Law” by Niamh Nic Shuibhne explores the legal framework and developments shaping European Union citizenship. The 640-page book emphasizes the value of solidarity, examining how EU citizenship promotes cooperation and mutual assistance among Member States to address shared challenges and build a cohesive Union. Key topics include the balance between solidarity and financial responsibility, evolving interpretations by the EU Court, and the impact on social cohesion and integration. Concluding with a reflection on EU citizenship's imperfect yet extraordinary nature, Shuibhne underscores its potential to enhance legal protections and uphold European values. This comprehensive work is an essential resource for law students and practitioners across the EU and those aspiring to membership.
