Migration and Dual Citizenship: New Europe, Old Nationalism?

This paper addresses the relationship between migration, citizenship and nationalism at the intersection of the European Union and the post-communist world, exploring the vicissitudes of dual citizenship in Lithuania. It argues that European integration disaggregates political membership in such a way as to refocus the identitarian aspect of citizenship, and demonstrates how the contradictions between two mutually embedded regimes of legitimacy, nationalism and liberal democracy, inflect the debate on citizenship of huge numbers of emigrants. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
