<i>'Citizenship and migration have been increasingly important topics in academic research as well as in public discourse. This </i>Handbook<i> connects the two phenomena systematically, looking at migration from a citizenship perspective and examining how citizenship has been transformed through migration. It provides an excellent introduction into the state of art with regard to the membership, rights, and participation dimensions of the citizenship and migration nexus.'</i>

<i>'With a very well selected set of authors, who span a wide range of conceptual and empirical work on citizenship and migration, this Handbook offers an excellent one-stop resource for all advanced scholars of the subject. It captures well some of the key current debates structuring work in this ever-expanding field.'</i>

<i>‘At a time when the interaction between citizenship and migration comes under intense scrutiny – as the pandemic forces us to rethink who can cross borders, what is the difference between a migrant and a citizen, what are the rights of each and whose work or health is more essential – this is a timely and needed Handbook offering a critical overview of the multiple intersections between migration and citizenship in theory and in real life.’</i>

Expert contributors explore how citizenship and migration intersect in contemporary thinking, going beyond accounts that often treat the terms separately or simply point out the implications of one term for the other. Organised into five parts, chapters address the basic theoretical perspectives on citizenship and migration, including normative approaches, cross-national differences in citizenship regimes, and methodological issues. The Handbook then moves on to look at the three fundamental dimensions of citizenship: membership, rights, and participation. The final part discusses key contemporary challenges and future perspectives for the study of citizenship and migration.
This Handbook will be a valuable resource for scholars and students engaged in the study of citizenship, migration, public policy, human rights, sociology and political science, more broadly. Its interdisciplinary perspective and use of empirical studies will also be beneficial for practitioners and policy makers in these fields.
