The process of European integration has had a marked influence on the nature and meaning of citizenship in national and post-national contexts as well as on the definition and exercise of civil rights across Member States. This original edited collection brings together insights from EU law, human rights and comparative constitutional law to address this underexplored nexus.

‘Through its conceptually innovative focus on EU citizenship and civil rights, this important contribution reframes and refreshes some enduring questions around the protection of rights as well as bringing significant new themes, notably the role of civil society, more to the centre of current debates. The collections overarching exploration of a “European civil rights mo(ve)ment” has never seemed more necessary.’
