In this paper, I analyze mobility and its implications for the emerging citizenship regime of the European Union from a normative perspective. I first show that Union citizenship implies the dissociation of nationality (belonging) and citizenship (legal status). It envisions a more abstract sphere of cooperation among aliens, which depends on their capacity to engage in intercultural and transnational citizenship practices. Second, I demonstrate how the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice has promoted this transnational vision of EU citizenship.
