Citizenship, State, and Rights
Research in this field explores the relations between individuals, communities, and states, probing questions of belonging, membership, and exclusion. It encompasses law relating to the structuring and control of state power, such as constitutional and administrative law, and the state’s power to raise revenue through taxation. The role and power of immigration law in a global and unequal world is an important dimension of this field. Researchers at UVic Law explore legal regulation in transnational political spaces such as the European Union. Faculty research on Canadian and comparative constitutional law, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Canadian immigration law, and tax law in the European Union is internationally recognized.
