This open access book critically re-examines the theoretical and empirical interconnections
between integration and citizenship specifically naturalisation. With new empirical-grounded
analyses of what we term 'citizenship-integration nexus' the central shared contribution is
showcasing how membership is informally achieved through everyday integration -usually around
but sometimes in spite of formal citizenship requirements. By providing evidence of a nexus
disjuncture the book contributes to critical dialogues on immigrant integration and political
incorporation relevant for policymakers civil society actors and academics alike.
