ABSTRACT
There are various ways in which citizenship has been explained and delimited, the two most common being jus sanguinis – citizenship acquired from one’s parents – and jus solis – citizenship derived from one’s place of birth. Migrations and border movements mean that these two do not always coincide (Joppke 2010); Brubaker (1992) analyses the two different approaches in the policies of Germany and France. In Chapter 4 I described how Slovenia had became independent in 1990 and referred to the consequences of establishing a nation state in an area that had been multinational, with internal migration: those of other nationalities by parentage become effectively marooned minorities in the new state (cf. Favell 2009).
