EU Enlargement and Latvian Citizenship Policy
Publisher: Journal on Ethnopolitics and Minority Issues in Europe Volume: 40 pages, pdf Description: Since regaining independence in 1991, Latvian nationality policy has developed from an exclusive, almost restitutionist, policy seeking to identify the Latvian state with the Latvian nation into a more inclusive civic definition of Latvian citizenship. The actions of various domestic, regional, and systemic level actors have affected the evolution of citizenship, language, and education policies and legislation in Latvia which has in turn affected the lives of the non-citizen minority.
