About the Book:

Liberal democracies, facing high levels of immigration, are rethinking citizenship policies. How should liberal states fashion membership policies for newcomers? A panel of international experts convened by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace offers detailed and important recommendations on issues of acquisition of citizenship, dual nationality and the political, social, and economic rights of immigrants.
