What to read after Dual Citizenship in Europe?

In an age of terrorism and securitized immigration, dual citizenship is of central theoretical and contemporary political concern. In this volume the contributors look at policies regarding dual citizenship across Europe. A wide spectrum of case studies are provided; from the fairly restrictive German case to the more tolerant Dutch case, to the Swedish case, in which dual citizenship is explicitly accepted. Two emigration countries, Turkey and Poland, are also covered. The case studies explore the negotiated character and boundaries of political membership and the fundamental beliefs and arguments within distinct political cultures and institutional settings which have shaped debates and policies on citizenship. The analyses serve to explore the similarities and differences in the politics of dual citizenship in order to identifying the dominant terms of public debates within and across selected immigration and emigration states in Europe. The research shows that policies on dual citizenship are not simply explained by different concepts of nationhood, but concepts of societal integration, which may well be contested in a given policy, are extremely influential.
