Abstract

This chapter traces the evolution of the theory and practice of citizenship, and to a lesser extent immigration, in Slovenia. It does not discuss the evolution of citizenship or the identity of the EU. The French and United States (American) Revolutions had a significant influence on the historical development of citizenship law. More importantly, and in part, Slovenia’s beginnings will be traced from when the territory of modern day Slovenia was part of the Holy Roman Empire.

Citizenship has evolved from occupation of a territory to excluding people from being a citizen. Citizenship has also been a choice for individual resident in a territory. The disintegration of empires and kingdoms shaped citizenship, and exclusionary approaches were adopted to restrict people from being a citizen or resident. One of the most important roles citizenship has played over the past two centuries has been its ability to provide a level of certainty to individuals as rulers and borders change. Arguably, the two world wars had a significant impact on citizenship. The resulting effect of WWII alone saw the outward migration from Europe and Slovenia, whereby Australia was considered a destination state. Finally, it will highlight how, from the early developments of the nation state to the modern day, citizenship transitioned from allegiance to a legal status.
