Acknowledgments

This book is based on my doctoral thesis in European constitutional law, which I publicly defended at the University of Amsterdam on 2 September 2015. As such, most of my acknowledgments for this book are due to everyone who helped me to successfully make it to that point. First, thanks are due to my supervisors at the faculty of law at the University of Amsterdam, Tom Eijsbouts, Jan-Herman Reestman, and Annette Schrauwen. I worked with Tom and Jan-Herman as an editor at the European Constitutional Law Review, and they convinced me to pursue this research, having noticed my interest in the ways that EU citizenship influences the legal practice of immigration law. And Annette gave me (and still gives me) the opportunity to lecture her master’s students of law on the Citizenship Directive of EU law (Directive 2004/38) every year, providing me with the teaching experience that is essential to the Latin meaning of doctor. Since I was an external doctoral candidate, my research and writing processes were relatively secluded. So it was nice to be able to have the opportunity to air my ideas and receive feedback on them. The informal meetings at the Center for Migration Law at the Radboud University Nijmegen provided me with such a sounding board. Thanks to Karin Zwaan, Ricky van Oers, Kees Groenendijk, Elspeth Guild, and Tineke Strik. Thanks are due as well to Sébastien Chauvin for inviting me to give a guest lecture to his students in the Department of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam every year: an experience
