Welcome to the international conference EU Citizens 30 Years On – Economic Contributors, Political Members, Right-holders? which takes stock, looks ahead and evaluates three decades of Union citizenship.
In 2022 it is 30 years since European Citizenship was introduced. Much has happened both in Sweden and in the EU since Union citizenship since then. It has been understood as the world's first post-national citizenship, although it is complementary to national citizenship. EU citizens enjoy rights that have been expanded, modified and reinterpreted in the light of the economic integration process.
The international conference EU Citizens 30 Years On – Economic Contributors, Political Members, Right-holders? takes stock, looks ahead and evaluates these three decades of Union citizenship against the backdrop of the revival of interest in economic contributions and the role these ought to play in attribution of social roles and political power.
Has EU citizenship lived up to expectations? What are the problems facing citizens today? Do economic contributions matter more? What does it mean for citizenship, and Union citizenship in particular? What challenges lie ahead?
