Miscellaneous PublicationsModernisation of German citizenship: completing the paradigm shift of 2000
Weinmann, Martin (2024)
EUI Global Citizenship Observatory-Blog
In this blog post, I summarise the main changes to the law "Act on the Modernisation of Citizenship Law", point out important changes to the original draft during the legislative process and briefly discuss the political positions on the reform. I also situate the current reform in the context of the reforms of German citizenship law since the early 1990s and thus show how German citizenship law has been increasingly liberalised and a continuous shift towards a more open citizenship law has taken place.
