As Europe is struggling with an unprecedented wave of refugees, especially from the Middle East, Citizenship in Transition: New Perspectives on Transnational Migration from the Middle East to Europe is a timely book. The implications of this migration for the concept of citizenship are the main motif holding the different contributions together.

The volume is edited by Annemarie Profanter and Francis Owtram (LSE IR PhD 1999) and is divided into three sections addressing this topic from different perspectives.

The full book review by Dr Christian Lekon (LSE IR PhD 2001) can be read on the LSE Middle East Centre blog here.
