Resum
This chapter explores the potentially fuzzy boundaries of the concept of European
citizenship, and its deep interconnection with the nationality legislations of the
European Union (EU) Member States. The complexity and plurality of these
national regulations involves an extremely wide range of procedures, mecha-
nisms and conditions for obtaining derivatively the status of EU citizen.
Embedded within this plurality, several inequalities between legislations (and
some loopholes) also appear to exist, making EU citizenship a potentially incon-
sistent concept, particularly at the outer limits of national belonging. In order to
illustrate this issue, which affects the very notion of EU citizenship, we shall
review the issue of the loose boundaries of Spanish nationality law, focusing spe-
cifically on the status of its regulatory framework regarding Western Sahara. This
former Spanish colony, whose political status over the last four decades, following
the termination of Spanish control over the territory, has undergone an incom-
plete and conflictive process of redefinition.
