Jonathan Seglow, Political Studies Review
"A densely written but eminently readable book, chock full of
incisive critiques, fresh insights and new questions about the
recent evolution of a core concept of liberal democracy."
Rainer Baubock, European Political Science
"By delving into early political thought, philosophy and
societal norms, Joppke portrays the quest by political power to
invent a social norm which constitutes a semblance of social order,
therefore attempting to establish the interwoven concepts of
rights, status and identity."

"This is a superb piece of scholarship. Joppke manages to cover
an extraordinary range of theoretical questions and empirical
findings within a very compact and readable book. He coherently
synthesizes and cogently brings together an array of different
literatures that have often remained separate from one another. In
doing so, he provides a "state of the art" overview and analysis of
the topics of citizenship and immigration."
Marc Morjé Howard, Georgetown University
"Citizenship and Immigration is an outstanding analysis
of one of the most dramatic developments in contemporary world,
especially in Europe - namely the impact of immigration on the
reconstitution of citizenship and of discussions thereof. It is an
essential reading for anybody interested in the contemporary
scene."
S.N. Eisenstadt, The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute
"Few scholars know the citizenship and immigration literature
like Christian Joppke. In this tour-de-force, Joppke moves nimbly
from social theory to current policy developments in Europe, North
America and Australia. He paints a nuanced picture of the liberal
evolution of citizenship, remaining attentive to governments'
recent exclusionary moves. A must-read!"
Irene Bloemraad, University of California, Berkeley
