The Europeanisation of Citizenship Governance in South-East Europe
This book looks at how Europeanisation affects the link between citizenship and governance in and across the new states of South-East Europe. Contributors unpack the intimate relationship between the European Union, national governments and citizens through a tripartite model that captures the uneven and diversified effects of Europeanisation on the governance of citizenship-related policy areas. Reflecting on the meaning of governance in different contexts, this book invites the readers to reconsider the terms and concepts that are commonly used for studying the consolidation of new states. By doing so, it directs attention to the transformative power of European integration not only on modes of governance, but also on practices and experiences of citizenship. Individual chapters are paired to examine three policy areas that are to a different degree affected by the requirements of European Union accession. Combining analysis of policy frameworks with assessment of their impact, the contributors highlight that the impact of Europeanisation can be located on a continuum stretching from strongest in matters regarding justice and home affairs, to moderate in general issues of social policy, to weakest in transforming citizenship through education policies. This book was originally published as a special issue of European Politics and Society.

ABSTRACT This Introduction explains the origins of the project of exploring citizenship and citizenship-related issues in the framework of Europeanisation in the new states in South East Europe. It defines the terminology used in the contributions and explains the conceptual underpinnings of the project and the structure of the edited collection. Finally, these introductory remarks also give an overview of the contributions to the special issue of Perspectives on European Politics and Societies entitled, The governance of citizenship practices in the post-Yugoslav states: The impact of Europeanisation.
Introduction
This special issue examines the governance of citizenship and citizenship-related issues in the context of complex and sometimes contested processes of Europeanisation in and across the new states of South East Europe. The basic premise for the research was the centrality of the construction and governance of its citizenship regime for each new state that emerged during the course of the progressive breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) from 1991 onwards. Each new state established the laws and policies necessary to determine not only who were the initial citizenry of the state, but also how citizenship was acquired (and sometimes lost) at birth, through residence (or non-residence), via descent, and through other recognised connections such as special qualities. However, the study of citizenship necessarily goes beyond these narrow boundaries, looking at other types of quasi statuses such as permanent residency as well as informal ideational and ideological aspects of citizenship policies. And while the starting point for such citizenship studies may be the status elements of membership, it quickly becomes evident that the enjoyment of citizenship can never fully be dissociated from its rights and identitarian elements.
