Family law, gender equality, care arrangements and the consequences of demographic change have long been on the agenda of the European Union. However, these are coloured by national and cultural factors more than any other disputes, and form a barrier to the equalising of status for European citizens. Using an interdisciplinary approach, and bringing together law scholars, political scientists and sociologists, this book looks at the implications of the categorisation of identity in the European Union, and what they mean for the realisation of citizens’ rights throughout the EU.

What are the effects of internal migration within the European Union on the rights and lives of women migrants?Based on original unpublished research, this timely book traces the development of European citizenship through an examination of the gender dimension of internal migration. It is in its capacity as guardian of the rights of EU migrants that the EU behaves most like a modern welfare state. This book covers the legal basis of these rights and the extent to which they are based on gendered notions of family life and migration behaviour.Women in five member states (Sweden, UK, Ireland, Greece and Portugal) were interviewed to examine the impact of migration on family, career, identity and social and political rights.This is a useful and original contribution to knowledge of EU social policy, comparative work on gender, the dynamics of European migration and the relationship of all these issues to citizenship.Shifting spaces is important reading for students on socio-legal and interdisciplinary courses on EU law, women's studies and European policy, academics, policy makers and lawyers.

Published in 1999. Issues of citizenship and identity have rapidly moved up the European and social science agendas in recent years. This book explores the reason for this. It focuses on the dilemmas of citizenship and identify in the uncertain and unpredictable atmosphere of fin de siècle Europe. In the course of eight essays, it explores the general theoretical issues of citizenship and identity – and the relationship between these – in contemporary Europe; the various aspects of European Union citizenship (two chapters); democracy and multiculturalism in Western Europe; pluralism and citizenship, with particular reference to gender in West European politics; the various implications for gender politics of divorce in Western Europe; exclusion and inclusion in central and Eastern Europe; and the extent to which the idea of a Yugoslav national identity has been a failure. Citizenship and Identity in Europe will appeal both to informed generalists and to students and scholars of Europe who seek analyses of these issues in Eastern, central and Western Europe from a wide range of perspectives. At a time when the future of Europe is looking more uncertain than it has for decades, this book is both timely and thought-provoking.

The collapse of authoritarian regimes in Eastern Europe and recent uncertainties about the future direction and membership of European Community have had a profound impact on the lives of millions of women. Thinking about citizenship helps us to understand these changes yet usually such concepts include almost everything but gender.

This is a collectively written, inter-disciplinary, thematic cross-national study which combines conceptual, theoretical, empirical and policy material in an ambitious and innovative way to explore a key concept in contemporary European political, policy and academic debates. The first part of the book clarifies the various ways that the concept of citizenship has developed historically and is understood today in a range of Western European welfare states. It elaborates on the contemporary framing of debates and struggles around citizenship. This provides a framework for three policy studies, looking at: migration and multiculturalism; the care of young children; and home-based childcare and transnational dynamics. The book is unusual in weaving together the topics of migration and childcare and in studying these issues together within a gendered citizenship framework. It also demonstrates the value of a multi-level conceptualisation of citizenship, stretching from the domestic sphere through the national and European levels to the global. The book is aimed at students of social policy, sociology, European studies, women's studies and politics and at researchers/scholars/policy analysts in the areas of citizenship, gender, welfare states and migration.
