Open Citizenship

Open Citizenship combines scientific discourses on the subject of European citizenship with articles and reports on the positive and negative effects of its current legal definition. The journal’s objective is to contribute to the development of a new and modern concept of European citizenship, to serve as a platform for the exchange of knowledge and opinions and to compare experiences from both private European citizens and from European political, social and cultural actors. Thus, it includes articles about and insights from the European Union and its citizens’ everyday lives.

The articles published in this journal reflect the scope and complexity of the issue of citizenship in Europe today. The basis for accepting papers for publication is the agreement among a committee of reviewers that the article makes a new, definitive, important or developmental contribution to the discourse on European citizenship.
