British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, in one of his first decisions,
ordered a major review of citizenship in advance of new legislation
this summer. In the United States, the importance of citizenship
has been ever present in the ongoing immigration debate.
As the scrutiny of citizenship policies increases on both sides
of the Atlantic, MPI is pleased to host a discussion by leading
thinkers on the latest developments. Lord Peter Goldsmith
Q.C., the former Attorney General of Britain (2001-2007), and
the person charged with leading the citizenship review, will
be giving a lunchtime keynote.
“Citizenship in Britain and the United States” also
brings together a prestigious panel to respond to Lord Goldsmith
from the American perspective.
