Abstract: There is ample evidence that the possibility of holding dual citizenship is a key predictor of immigrant naturalisation. Over past decades, both migrant origin and destination countries have liberalised rules with regards to dual citizenship. Nevertheless, the acceptance of dual citizenship remains contested and a few countries have gone against the global tide by (re-)introducing restrictions. In this chapter we investigate the role of dual citizenship acceptance in origin and destination countries for immigrants’ propensity to naturalise in the Netherlands, in the period around the reintroduction of the renunciation requirement there in 1997. While a declining post-reform trend in the number of naturalisations has been widely observed, there is limited research on the heterogenous impact of dual citizenship acceptance. We use individual-level register data and apply a Cox proportional hazards regression to analyse the propensity to naturalise among immigrants who could naturalise with or without dual citizenship. We identify dual citizenship acceptance by combining the changing regulations in the Netherlands with information on origin-country citizenship rules around the world. We find that the propensity to naturalise is higher among those who can hold dual citizenship and remains so almost two decades after migration to the host country. We show that dual citizenship acceptance especially affects naturalisation rates among immigrants from EU and other highly developed countries.

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.
