»European Citizenship: Reconsidering the Right to Move«About the discussion
Freedom of movement for persons is at the core of EU citizenship. This right has recently become the target of Eurosceptic politicization and has played a critical role in election campaigns and referenda. The Roundtable aims at reflecting the challenges of transnational citizenship under the double focus of shifting boundaries: territorially and socially. Territorially, EU citizenship in principle enlarges access to rights and establishes – democratic shortcomings notwithstanding – practices of justification that transcend the limits of national, territorially bounded communities. On the other hand, EU citizenship tends to disaggregate the different dimensions of citizenship which as civil, political and social rights have been closely combined in the national constellation. Thus it reintroduces the dependence of political and social status which democratic welfare states have been aiming to overcome. Does EU citizenship therefore contribute to increasing the latent social gap between »movers« and »stay-at homers«, between those who – according to the hypothesis of a new »globalization cleavage« – profit form mobility and those who experience it as a burden? Does EU citizenship contribute to overcoming territorial boundaries while introducing new, social ones?
