Osservazioni sul diritto alla cittadinanza nella prospettiva universale e regionale. L’identità della cittadinanza dell’Unione europea in caso di revoca della cittadinanza nazionale

Abstract

In the current stage of movements of people across States, citizenship and its revocation are a particularly topical issue. This essay investigates the characters of the relationship between State autonomy in regulating the acquisition and loss of citizenship and universal and regional rules, in order to assess the existence of an international right to citizenship. Moreover, it addresses the peculiarities of European citizenship, especially its identity aspect, as a limit to Member States’ choices concerning the withdrawal of citizenship.
