The history of international nationality law & the concept of relational nationality are discussed, drawing on relational feminism. Prior to 1997, theory on nationalism took an individualistic perspective, avoided multiple nationality, & assumed the wife's nationality was dependent on the husband's. The 1997 European Convention on Nationality sought to address issues of multiple nationality & gender equality; it was neutral on multiple nationality because a gender equality perspective on nationality suggest accepting it in cases where spouses are of mixed nationalities. This points to a theory of relational nationalism in which marriage & family relations are important, & where family may mediate loyalties in a complex manner. Questions of statelessness & how the nationality laws in jus sanguinis regimes may be applied differentially to the first three generations are discussed. 108 References. M. Pflum

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.
