Citizenship and naturalization procedures in the UK are examined in historical perspective. Recent legislation is reviewed in the light of global change. The implication of membership in the European Union is examined. The differential treatment of Commonwealth citizens and former colonial subjects is reviewed, as well as human rights questions raised by the treatment of asylum seekers. As a result of globalization, Britain is experiencing the same contradictory forces as other advanced industrial societies. Demographic and economic forces promote immigration, which is resisted for a combination of security fears and ethnocentric attitudes. ; Cet article examine les procédures pour l'obtention de la citoyenneté et de la naturalisation au Royaume Uni dans une perspective historique. À la lumière de changements qui interviennent au niveau global, il passe en revue les lois adoptées récemment. Il examine aussi les implications de l'adhésion du pays à l'Union Européenne.
