Citizenship is a highly contentious issue across the globe: who “belongs”, what rights do citizens vs non-citizens possess, and what obligations are required of citizens. This is particularly true in the European Union, where integration prompted a reconceptualization of citizenship that rests in the tension between the national and the supranational. We argue that, when the political arena fails to offer answers to these questions, the courts have stepped in. We investigate the strategies employed by the EU courts to navigate the complex area of citizenship.
