  3. External citizenship: Immigration and asylum • Legislation on Immigration and Asylum since 1962 • The Commonwealth: the Windrush and establishing difference • Associated Race Relations legislation • Asylum seekers and refugees: tightening the rules on entry and access

  4. Internal citizenship: Devolution • 1997: Scottish parliament and Welsh Assembly • Different policy directions in core public service provision: changing citizen entitlements? • Increasing nationalist representation (Scottish Nationalist Party and Plaid Cymru): the end of British identity?

  5. Citizenship and security • Anti-terrorist legislation : balancing individual rights and collective security • Identity cards: rights of the state versus the rights of the citizen • Is there a trade off between liberty and security?

  6. Comparative European 1: France • Republican principles from revolution • Jus soli • End of Empire and North African immigration • Second generation: cultural homogeneity, secularism, social stability and legislative change • Paris riots 2005 and Nicolas Sarkozy

  7. Comparative European 2:Germany • Cultural rather than national identity as basis of citizenship • Jus sanguinis • From cultural to racial homogenisation • Turkish Gastarbeiter: 2000 change to law • Reunification: Are Ossis second class citizens?

  8. EU citizenship • Established in 1992 Treaty on European Union • Political Union for the Peoples of Europe • Social rights for workers: no welfare state • Charter of Fundamental Rights and the Constitution
