The European Civic Citizenship and Inclusion Index has been conceived to fill a knowledge gap on civic citizenship policies and inclusion at a European level. It is important for Member States to think about issues of immigrant inclusion in a European perspective, in order to keep up with the reality of EU-level policymaking and the rapidly emerging EU Common space of Justice, Freedom and Security. This is the first attempt to present the EU’s policies governing civic citizenship and inclusion in a concies and comparable format.
