This meticulously researched study provides a much-needed historical perspective on contemporary debates about immigration and the nature of citizenship. By tracing the origins of citizenship in four Western countries (Britain, France, Germany and the United States) from c.1700 to the present, Andreas Fahrmeir convincingly demonstrates the contingency and changeability of the concept. The emergence of these modern nation-states brought, he argues, a deceptively simple opposition of 'citizen' versus 'alien', in contrast to the complex relationships between individuals and communities in ancien regime societies. The demise of traditional ways of distinguishing insiders from outsiders was gradual, ensuring that rank, class and local communities competed against state citizenship until well into the twentieth century. The book is concerned not just with 'formal' or legal citizenship, but also with the related development of political participation, economic privileges and social rights. Fahrmeir argues that rather than being separate facets of one 'citizenship', these elements were (and continue to be) available to groups that only partly coincide with the community of legal citizens. And he considers whether the combined effects of regionalism, European unification, 'post-democracy' and economic globalisation are eroding state citizenship or whether increased immigration controls and stringent criteria for nationality render it as relevant today as ever.
