Earning Social Citizenship in the European Union available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. While ideas on 'earned citizenship' have been around in discussions on the coexistence of freedom of movement and nationally-bounded welfare states in the European Union, both the concept and the process it entails have hardly been explored in connection to EU (case) law. This contribution identifies earned citizenship as a technique of government in the broader political strategy of neoliberal communitarianism, requiring Union citizens to 'earn' access to the welfare system through an emphasis on their individual responsibility to fulfil the economic, social and cultural conditions of membership. Analysing economically inactive Union citizens' access to social assistance benefits, it argues that earned citizenship has been visible since the Court's early citizenship jurisprudence, but has been reconstructed with the recent Dano-line of case law.

In the 1990s, the Maastricht Treaty introduced the right to free movement for EU citizens. In practice, however, there are substantial barriers to making use of this right, particularly to integration and to accessing the social and welfare rights available. This is particularly true when it comes to accessing social rights, such as social assistance, housing benefit, study grants and health care. This book provides a detailed description and thorough analysis of these barriers, in both law and practice.

This dissertation engages with the tension between comprehensive free movement rights and national welfare states in the European Union. It specifically considers the role of the European Court of Justice, as a special supranational actor promoting cross-border welfare rights, and studies its impact on the terms and conditions of access to national welfare programmes. Analysis moves beyond doctrinal evaluation of the Court’s case law by theorising and demonstrating its effects on Union citizens’ access to social assistance and study finance in the Netherlands. The dissertation concludes that this interaction between the Court’s jurisprudence and Member State responses stimulates a synergy around the model of earned social citizenship: the institutions of free movement and national welfare state are reconciled by requiring individuals to ‘earn’ their social citizenship and access to the welfare system through an emphasis on their individual responsibility to fulfil the economic, social and cultural conditions of membership.

Download and read online ebook Debating European Citizenship write by Rainer Bauböck. This book was released on 2018-09-24. Debating European Citizenship available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This open access book raises crucial questions about the citizenship of the European Union. Is it a new citizenship beyond the nation-state although it is derived from Member State nationality? Who should get it? What rights and duties does it entail? Should EU citizens living in other Member States be able to vote there in national elections? If there are tensions between free movement and social rights, which should take priority? And should the European Court of Justice determine what European citizenship is about or the legislative institutions of the EU or national parliaments? This book collects a wide range of answers to these questions from legal scholars, political scientists, and political practitioners. It is structured as a series of three conversations in which authors respond to each other. This exchange of arguments provides unique depth to the debate.

Download and read online ebook A European Social Citizenship? write by Lars Magnusson. This book was released on 2004. A European Social Citizenship? available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The aim of this book is to explore and reflect upon preconditions of a specific European social dimension, or more specifically of a European social citizenship. Welfare and social policies in Europe are deeply entrenched in state histories; the success of the welfare state stems from its ability during a fairly long historical period to unify social citizenship, full employment, mass education and a functional industrial relations system. The historical connection between welfare regimes built upon the nation state, and popular democracy founded in party voting, makes the deepening and widening of a common European project a highly risky undertaking and an open process with a radically uncertain outcome. The dilemma in the form of uneasy relationships among national welfare regimes and the evolutionary process of increased market integration - driven both by market forces (globalisation) and the European Union as a political project - is well known and has been demonstrated by different commentators. Every step of deepening market integration in Europe tends to threaten and put pressure on the existing national welfare regimes. As their own populations generally support them, the legitimacy of the EU is at risk. The book analyses the prospects of a coordinated social dimension at the European level, matching the market integration, and what role the concept of citizenship can play in such a scenario.
