Cetățenia europeană între trecut și viitor
European citizenship between the past and the future

Summary/Abstract: This study presents the concept of European citizenship such as it has been defined in the Treaty of Maastricht in 1992. The author's working hypothesis is that the concept of European citizenship is more than a set of rights and obligations, namely, a way in which the citizens of the Member States may get involved with the Union's political life and the European integration process. The research is based on an examination of the theoretic doctrinal, normative and practical material in the field. The author makes a complex comparative study of the doctrinal concepts and the legislation of various countries regarding the European citizenship, while interpreting this concept in a broad vision, in terms of legal status, collective identity, organizational culture and social action.
