Summary

If Chapter 1 can be understood as the incipient citizen being partially seen through the social construction of the worker, then, because its ‘final form’ was well defined in a discursive sense, understanding it is relatively straightforward. This chapter, by contrast, focusses on the complex, the contingent and, ultimately, the controversial. More specifically, it constitutes a nuanced and qualitative attempt to examine strands which, weaved together, partially constitute Union citizenship n a contemporary and contextual sense but yet is also a chapter that further illustrates a series of fissures within its very foundations. What was outlined in Chapter 1 was a rather large fissure that had formed in relation to the very essence of the ‘Community worker’ from the outset. What remained unresolved (particularly after the development in Levin/Lawrie-Blum) was where those who simply could not be classified as workers conceptually fit within the framework of free movement of persons law. Today, EU Citizens derive protection whether explicitly economically active or within socially excluded categories of individuals or not.
