The Penalties for the Violation of Separation: A Comparison between the United States and France
How do the United States and France guarantee that their proclamations of non-establishment and separation are respected? These two countries employ different types of tools to preserve and protect separation, directly rooted in the contexts from which they differently emerged – the writing of the Constitution in the U.S. and the 1905 law of separation in France: fiscal or financial in the United States, penal in France. This article analyses in …

L'université française et le pouvoir
La France souffre de la méfiance du politique à l'égard de l'université. Pourtant, les universitaires pourraient mettre leur éthique de chercheur au service de l'action publique, à condition qu'ils soient libérés de leurs charges administratives
How to Be French: Nationality in the Making since 1789
How to Be French is a magisterial history of French nationality law from 1789 to the present, written by Patrick Weil, one of France's foremost historians. First published in France in 2002, it is filled with captivating human dramas, with legal professionals, and with statesmen including La Fayette, Napoleon, Clemenceau, de Gaulle, and Chirac. France has long pioneered nationality policies. It was France that first made the parent's nationality …
Il faut accorder l'asile constitutionnel à Edward Snowden
Edward Snowden a risqué sa vie pour dénoncer un système de surveillance généralisé. Réveillant notre tradition révolutionnaire et suscitant l'enthousiasme des jeunes générations, il mérite l'asile constitutionnel qui, à la différence de l'asile politique, ne requiert pas la présence préalable sur le territoire
Revocation of Citizenship and Rule of Law: How Judicial Review Defeated Britain's First Denaturalization Regime
Over the past decade, the United Kingdom has deprived an increasing number of British subjects of their citizenship. This policy, known as “denaturalization,” has been applied with particular harshness in cases where foreign-born subjects have been accused of terrorist activity. The increase is part of a global trend. In recent years, Canada, Australia, France, and the Netherlands have either debated or enacted denaturalization statutes. But Brit…
Denaturalization and denationalization in comparison (France, the United Kingdom, the United States)
Denaturalization and denationalization were once much more common among western democracies. From 1906 till 1968, the United States of America, France and the United Kingdom denationalized their citizens by hundreds and thousands, for fraud or illegality during the process of naturalization, for dual citizenship, or for banal default of loyalty. In a context of a ‘war against terror’ we are now seeing an apparent return to the past – with the res…
The French Republic: Meanings and Directions
The Sovereign Citizen: Denaturalization and the Origins of the American Republic
Le Citoyen est Souverain, pas l'État »: Comment la dénaturalisation a révolutionné la citoyenneté américaine
Instaurée par les États-Unis au début du XX e siècle, la dénaturalisation a d’abord servi à faire de la naturalisation une prérogative fédérale quand auparavant des juges d’États (fédérés) en décidaient. Mais elle est aussi devenue une arme, renforcée dans le contexte des deux Guerres mondiales, contre des naturalisés perçus comme « unAmerican » pour leur engagement politique ou leur allégeance étrangère. Un citoyen naturalisé peut être déchu de …

The Antiracist Origin of the Quota System
U.S. immigration policies history in the early 20th century has mostly been thought through the linear growing power of restrictionists versus liberals, resulting in 1917 Burnett law - containing the literacy test - and then 1921 and 1924 Quota laws. The latter has been described by scholars as the product of direct infuence of Eugenist activists (King) or of Eugenists mixed with Racists (Tichenor). Yet, the thorough study of the policy process p…

Politique de la mémoire: L'Interdit Et La Commémoration
Fallait-il légiférer sur l'histoire ? Fallait-il reconnaître l'esclavage comme un crime contre l'humanité ? Ces deux questions ont beaucoup agité les historiens et donné lieu à des déclarations collectives contradictoires. En menant une enquête historique sur les dispositions législatives et commémoratives concernant l'abolition de l'esclavage, on comprend mieux en quoi la continuité de notre histoire, et de la pensée républicaine, n'est pas bris…
Une histoire à transmettre
Défenseur de l'équipe de France de football, passé par l'Italie et l'Espagne, Lilian Thuram s'intéresse depuis longtemps à l'histoire de l'esclavage et aux questions des discriminations actuelles, comme en témoigne sa participation au Haut Conseil à l'intégration. Conscient du rôle civique qu'il peut jouer, il exprime ici sa préoccupation pour une action éducative aidant à prendre conscience des séquelles de l'histoire

Managing Migration: The Promise of Cooperation
A growing share of the world's population lives in the 175 developing countries, while global income and wealth are increasingly concentrated in the 25 developed countries. The resulting migration from developing to developed countries is proving difficult to manage at national, regional, and local levels. Managing Migration presents the valuable results of the Cooperative Efforts to Manage Emigration project, a bottom-up effort to identify model…

Lifting the Veil
On July 3, 2003, President Jacques Chirac set up an independent commission to study the implementation of the principle of laïcité [secularism] in the French Republic.1 In the previous weeks, the issue of violence in public schools had risen to a level of visibility so high in the media and the public eye that the French National Assembly had already created a special commission run by its president to study the issue of “religious symbols in sch…
Histoire et memoire des discriminations en matiere de nationalite francaise
L’article examine la discrimination dont furent victimes, depuis le Code civil et l’installation de la République, quatre catégories de Français : les femmes qui ont épousé un étranger ; les naturalisés de fraîche date qui n’ont pas joui de tous les droits civiques, en matière de vote et d’élection notamment ; les juifs victimes des mesures raciales sous Vichy ; les musulmans dans l’Algérie coloniale.

Integration in theory and practice: A comparison of France and Britain
The authors compare the integration of immigrants in France and Britain in terms of the theoretical models, politics and practice in each country. In France, the tradition of republicanism is emphasised, and thus a legacy of integrating immigrants under this banner is proclaimed; in Britain there is no real analogue to this, and no common myth which is shared across the spectrum of political opinion, though historical conditions have also shaped …
Towards a Coherent Policy of Co–Development
This paper seeks to demonstrate the major benefits that a dedicated policy of co–development can bring to three major actors affected by immigration: receiving states, countries of origin, and the immigrants themselves. True co–development involves sustained cooperation between receiving nations and source nations in the management of both legal and illegal migratory flows. At the same time, it fosters the economic and demographic development of …
Racisme et discrimination dans la politique française de l'immigration: 1938-1945/1974-1995
Racism and discrimination in France's immigration policy: 1938-1945, Patrick Weil. Since it was designed in the 1930s as a public policy, State action concerning immigration took in France several paths. Between the Third Republic and the Vichy regime, between Vichy and 1945, and between 1945 and 1978, continuities are complex but take up, in various ways, the concept of the immigrants' different potential for assimilation according to origins. I…
Best Practice Options: Mali
Mali, a poor country that embraced democracy in 1991, is considered a democratic role model for francophone Africa. It is grappling with several migration issues, including well–established networks that move thousands of Malians abroad, often with false documents, for $2,000 to $3,000; the dependence of the Kayes region, with 1.5 million residents, on emigration, particularly the remittances sent by its workers abroad; and the migration of Mali …

A propos de Maastricht: Citoyenneté européenne et citoyenneté locale. Un entretien avec Patrick Weil
Les accords de Maastricht prévoient le droit de vote communal pour les seuls ressortissants de l'Europe, et relancent ainsi le débat sur la citoyenneté locale pour les immigrés extra-communautaires. Patrick Weil donne ici son point de vue sur la question, et regrette qu 'une harmonisation européenne des codes de la nationalité ne soit pas à l'ordre du jour. A suivre

Migration Control in the North-Atlantic World: The evolution of state practices in Europe and the United States from the French Revolution to the inter-war period
The migration movements of the 20th century have led to an increased interest in similarly dramatic population changes in the preceding century. The contributors to this volume - legal scholars, sociologists, political scientist and historians - focus on migration control in the 19th century, concentrating on three areas in particular: the impact of the French Revolution on the development of modern citizenship laws and on the development of new …
