Willem Maas (PhD, Yale) is Jean Monnet Chair and Associate Professor of Political Science, Public & International Affairs, Social & Political Thought, and Socio-Legal Studies at Glendon College, York University. He has served as chair of Faculty Council, executive member of the Canadian Centre for German and European Studies, the Political Science graduate program, and the Centre for Public Policy and Law, and as founding director of the EU Centre of Excellence. Maas’s book Creating European Citizens explains the development of supranational rights culminating in EU citizenship. It suggests that integration has always been about much more than economics, that free movement of persons is central to integration, and that the political project of transcending borders and building a European community of people has implications for the global rise of rights. Professor Maas is currently conducting SSHRC-funded research on the comparative politics of citizenship and nationality (focusing on the Netherlands) and related projects on free movement (forthcoming special issue of European Journal of Migration and Law) and multilevel citizenship (edited book Multilevel Citizenship forthcoming from University of Pennsylvania Press). He is co-organizer of the new APSA Section on Migration and Citizenship. |
