Abstract: The growing toleration of dual citizenship changes the basic rules governing citizenship attribution. It creates new possibilities for legal connections between states and individuals, including overlapping memberships and belonging from a distance. In this chapter, I argue that the legitimisation of dual citizenship leads to the adoption of strategic policies on the part of states (the “supply” side) as well as on the part of eligible individuals (the “demand” side). Numerous states use dual citizenship policies to select new citizens that do not live on their territory and do not intend to relocate or give up their original citizenship. These include the descendants of emigrants (e.g. Italian descendants in South America who are now offered Italian citizenship), cross-border co-ethnics (such as ethnic Hungarians in the countries surrounding Hungary), as well as millionaires from developing countries who can now – for a hefty sum – acquire citizenship from a country where they have never set foot. From the perspective of eligible individuals, such schemes offer opportunities to strategically expand their scope of rights and opportunities by acquiring a second citizenship that is ranked higher in the global hierarchy of citizenship value. The expected benefits may include global travel freedom, an insurance policy and broader economic opportunities. These developments, which impact both states and individuals, weaken the traditional association between citizenship and national identity.

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.
