Brilliant blogpost by our EU Citizenship and Migration Expert Prof Francesca Strumia: 'Neither Soil, Nor Blood, Nor Money: Disquiet over citizenship in the US, Italy, the UK, and at the CJEU'

@thecitylawschool.bsky.social @citystgeorges.bsky.social
2025 has seen multiple governments seeking to alter their citizenship attribution policies.

In their quest to ensure 'authentic' citizenship bonds, governments should be guided by the principles of certainty, agency, and commitment, argues FRANCESCA STRUMIA.
