Contents:
Is a 'worker' really a worker? A discursive assessment of the substantive evolution of the concept of the 'community worker' -- The role explicitly economically inactive and potentially socially excluded categories of individuals played in the subjective creation of EU citizenship -- A discourse of equal treatment? -- The citizen is born : literal utterances of the citizen prior to 1992 -- Genealogy and the potential for dismantling citizenship? -- Concluding remarks
Summary:
"A fundamental tenet of Plender's contention that the 'incipient' citizen can be seen to have emerged from the early case law on free movement is that the 'worker' can be construed as the early prototype of the citizen. This ties in particularly with the linkages made between market citizenship and EU Citizenship. The legal evolution of the 'worker' has arguably been the foundation stone of all free movement of persons law upon which the later temple of citizenship was built"-- Provided by publisher.
