Abstract
This book identifies a trend toward a reevaluation of the citizenship concept and status by considering the existence of a fundamental right to the specific citizenship of the residence country.
However, there is certainly a different position for the nation-state from Westphalia to the global world. A global world without a global state still needs traditional states to enforce its principles and rules. As I see it, States are obliged by the transnational law to enforce basic principles and rules through their traditional enforcement channels. It is very clear that international and transnational law will not be enforced otherwise.
This does not mean, though, that States remain free to do whatever they wish as long as this does not conflict with other States. Internal constraints increasingly result from international and transnational law, even in areas considered to be the realm of sovereignty, such as citizenship.
