Summary/Abstract: The integration of foreigners, immigrants and refugees in the French nation requires a complex research, especially from a socio-historical point of view. In the Napoleonian legislation from 1803 the right of blood prevailed, in the republican legislation from 1889 the right of land did, whereas the 1927 legislation imposed restrictions on the right of the naturalized, formally removed only in the 1980s. In all the above mentioned legislations the protection of foreigners is accompanied by a certain degree of discrimination and exclusion. Globalization currently requires the complete removal of these discriminations by redefining the functions and competences of national states.
