Abstract:
This chapter summarises the causes of the strong global trend towards the toleration of dual citizenship but then focuses on its possible limits and reasons for resistance by some states. I consider specifically why the two largest states in terms of population – China and India – adhere to a policy of strict non-toleration of multiple citizenship out of security concerns and adversarial ideologies of national sovereignty. I also examine the Eastern European context where policies of regional hegemony (by Russia) and the mobilisation of ethnic kin minorities in the near abroad for buttressing the domestic hegemony of political incumbents (by Hungary) have triggered counter-reactions against dual citizenship in neighbouring states. In so-called Western democracies, security concerns about terrorism have not led to a retreat from dual citizenship but have turned a second citizenship into a potential liability, as the possession of it allows states to denationalise citizens whom they consider to be a threat. Finally, the chapter considers whether demand and supply for dual citizenship might shrink if the hyperglobalisation since the 1990s were partly reversed in response to pandemics and the climate crisis.

The toleration of dual citizenship has become a global trend as states try to retain ties to their emigrants or to encourage their immigrants to naturalise. This volume examines changes in state attitudes to dual citizenship and their social impact, zooming in from analyses of global dynamics to a series of country case studies that illustrate the variety of reasons and intentions behind dual citizenship reform. Finally, five chapters provide the most thorough analysis of the special Austrian case so far. They show the size of Austria’s untapped potential for naturalisation of immigrants, the incoherence of its citizenship policies at home and abroad and the need for a comprehensive reform.

Die Duldung der doppelten Staatsbürgerschaft ist zu einem globalen Trend geworden, weil Staaten versuchen, die Bindung zu ihren Auswanderern aufrechtzuerhalten oder ihre Einwanderer zur Einbürgerung zu ermutigen. Dieser Band untersucht diese Änderungen der staatlichen Haltung und ihre sozialen Auswirkungen. Er beginnt mit Analysen der globalen Dynamik und fokussiert anschließend auf Länderfallstudien, die die verschiedenen Gründe und Absichten hinter Reformen der Doppelstaatsbürgerschaft veranschaulichen. Abschließend bieten fünf Kapitel die bislang gründlichste Analyse des österreichischen Sonderfalls. Sie zeigen die Größe des ungenutzten Einbürgerungspotenzials in Österreich, die Inkohärenz seiner Staatsbürgerschaftspolitik gegenüber Ein- und Auswanderern und die Notwendigkeit einer umfassenden Reform.
