France has had a richer legislative experience in matters of nationality than any other country. Scarcely a decade has passed since the Revolution in which some project for legislation has not been proposed, and during the intervals between these projects the subject has been kept alive by very intelligent discussion on the part of statesmen and writers. A resumé of French legislation will indicate the trend of thought in France and throw light upon the policies behind the present law. In so brief a summary as is here presented it will be impossible, however, to refer to the numerous proposals which never passed beyond the stage of debate. We shall confine ourselves to the laws as adopted, and these will suffice for our purpose.The law existing in France immediately anterior to the Revolution conferred French nationality on persons (1) born on French soil; (2) born in a foreign country of a French father who had not established his domicile in that country nor lost his intent to return, provided the person so born returned to France.

SUMMARY:
В статье, которая открывается замечанием Эрнеста Ренана о том, что "создание ошибочной версии истории является важнейшим фактором формирования нации", С. Плохий рассматривает имеющиеся сегодня у историков возможности переписывания и переструктурирования восточноевропейских исторических нарративов. Непосредственно предметом анализа служит украинская историография. В статье критически рассматриваются становление национальной парадигмы украинской истории, а также альтернативы национализирующему подходу, прежде всего – мультиэтническая и локальная истории, а также транснациональные и региональные подходы. В заключении автор обращается к перспективам встраивания украинской истории в контекст истории большого наднационального сообщества, каковым может являться "Восточно-Центральная Европа" или "Евразия". В своем анализе автор исходит из убеждения, что если будущее Украины связано с Европой, то ее прошлое принадлежит пограничным цивилизационным и имперским пространствам и пограничным пересечениям, которые в течение веков определяли ход и интерпретацию событий на территории, известной сегодня под именем "Украина".

EUDO Citizenship Observatory ; The relationship between the nationality laws of the European Union Member States and European citizenship has long been the subject of academic discussion. The objective of the present paper is to investigate particularly the impact of the dual nationality regimes – for our purposes to be understood as the possession of a Member State and a non-Member State nationality – on access to European citizenship. Based on an analysis of dual nationality in three different historical-constitutional contexts (post-colonialism, post-emigration and post-communism), we argue that the use of dual nationality – in combination with a preferential nationality regime for certain groups residing outside the EU –, results in discrimination against migrants on the basis of their origin. The different dual nationality policies also affect the EU at large as Member State nationals enjoy – as European citizens – the right of free movement and residence in the Union's territory. At the same time, however, it can be seriously queried whether these 'external EU citizens' can demonstrate a real link with the Member States granting their nationality. Finally, the examination of the case law of the European Court of Justice shows that tensions have already arisen between different Member State nationality laws; it is expected that these tensions will arise even more frequently in the future precisely as a result of the privileged route towards the acquisition of a second 'European' nationality. As the latter development is negatively perceived by many Member States, the EU may decide to undertake action in the area of nationality. This, in turn, could give rise to the legal autonomy of Union citizenship.
