Document Summary
Brubaker: immigraion, ciizenship, and the naion-state in france and germany: a comparaive historical analysis. Post-wwii era changed this model: temporary labour migrants turned into long term setlers who needed to be re- categorised within the state. Inclusion was done piecemeal because there was no policy in place, but as rights improved there was less incenive to naturalise. Two schools of thought on ciizenship: naionalists: ciizenship by naturalisaion should be based on whether or not the person has assimilated, post-naional pluralists: ciizenship should be stripped of naionality to accommodate modern realiies of immigraion. France: france"s inclusive ciizenship can be understood in terms of their revoluionary and republican noions of statehood. Poliical unity, not shared culture is the most important thing in naional idenity: under 1889 law, french ciizenship was atributed to all persons born in france of foreign-born parents and domiciled in france at their majority. This transforms second- generaion immigrants into ciizens (jus soli).
