Abstract
This book presents a comparative analysis, by researchers from a variety of disciplines, of citizenship rights for aliens in ten advanced industrial countries that have experienced substantial immigration. These are: Japan (Atsushi Kondo, constitutional law); the Netherlands (Gerard-René de Groot, international private law); Sweden (Elena Dingu-Kyrklund, international law); France (Benoît Guiguet, EU public law); Germany (Kay Hailbronner, international public law); the United Kingdom (Zig Layton-Henry, political science); Australia (Stephen Castles, sociology); New Zealand (Paul Spoonley, sociology); Canada (Donald Galloway, administrative law); and the USA (Thomas C. Heller, international law).

‘In spite of large immigration flows — second only to flows to the United States — and in spite of public organizing and financing of most of them, Germany officially still considers herself to be kein Einwanderungsland (not an immigration country)’.

Only four Member States of the EU (Italy: cittadinanza, Denmark: borgarskap, Sweden: medborgarskap, Finland: kansalaisuus) are using the same term. The other eleven states are using different terms. It should be noted that the double use of the word borgarskap was perhaps ‘oil on the fire’ of the Danish fear of creating European citizenship because it could be the first step on the way to the decline of their own Danish citizenship.
