At present, immigrants to most Western democracies do not enjoy the same rights as citizens, and must satisfy a range of conditions before achieving citizenship. In this book, Ruth Rubio-Mari?n argues that this approach is unjust and undemocratic, and that more inclusive policies are required. In particular, she argues that liberal norms of justice and democracy require that there should be a time threshold after which immigrants (legal and illegal) should either be granted the full rights of citizenship, or should be awarded nationality automatically, without any conditions or tests. The author contrasts her position with the constitutional practice of two countries with rich immigration traditions: Germany and the United States. She concludes that judicial interpretations of both constitutions have recognised the claim for inclusion of resident aliens, but have also limited that claim. 606 $aCitizenship$zUnited States 606 $aCitizenship$zGermany 606 $aDemocracy 615 0$aCitizenship 615 0$aCitizenship 615 0$aDemocracy. 676 $a342.73/083 700 $aRubio-Mari?n$b Ruth$0556427 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780071403321 996 $aImmigration as a Democratic Challenge$9985025 997 $aUNINA
