Over the past two decades, nearly all changes in #dualcitizenship acceptance for expats have been towards a tolerant approach. Image
I would not be surprised if one more country will follow liberal trend in near future but will depend on this week's general elections in 🇳🇱...

It’s election time in NL!

-> 17 March 🇳🇱

I had a look at party positions on #citizenship in 13 election manifestoes.

What did I find…?

1. Right-wing restriction
2. Left-wing silence / ambiguity
3. Small liberal center
4. New diaspora capture

A thread /
#1. Right-wing restriction

No surprise. Parties on center-right (VVD), orthodox Christian right (SGP) & populist right (FvD, PVV) advocate citizenship stripping.

‘Freedom’ Party PVV advocates restrictions of #dualcitizens (eg military)

FvD & SGP against pathway to citizenship.
#2. Left-wing silence / ambiguity I

The Greens (GL) & orthodox Socialist Party (SP) are silent on citizenship.

Labour Party (PvdA) somewhat ambiguous on #dualcitizenship: ‘no sign of lack of loyalty, but want to help people get rid of other citizenship, if they want’.

New pre-print:

What’s the causal impact of #dualcitizenship acceptance on immigrant naturalisation?

Floris Peters (@MiLifeStatus) and I apply quasi-experimental design based on reforms in 🇳🇱 (1997) and 🇸🇪 (2001).

I think it’s pretty nifty 🤓

Difference-in-differences design exploits exogenous variation in origin country #citizenship legislation to identify the treatment effect of destination country policy reform.

We draw on @macimide data on expatriate dual citizenship acceptance: doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TT… Image
We employ microlevel administrative data on complete migrant populations in the years around these reforms.

In 🇳🇱 dual citizenship was restricted in 1997, though with major exemptions (eg not if 🇳🇱 partner).

In 🇸🇪 dual citizenship was liberalised in 2001. Image

Paper draws on data from admin registers

on 642k migrants from 8 cohorts

in 🇩🇰, 🇳🇱 and 🇸🇪

tracked up to 21 ysm

N=4.3M obs

We observe large differences in cumulative naturalisation rates:

🇸🇪 80%
🇳🇱 67%
🇩🇰 37%

Differences increase after contrasting policy changes. Image

Language requirements and integration tests were introduced in both Denmark (B1/B2) and the Netherlands (A2), but not in Sweden.

Dual citizenship was restricted in the Netherlands but liberalised in Sweden. Image

New @FrontSociology paper w Swantje Falcke (@MiLifeStatus) with, I think, intriguing #nullfindings.

Q: did abolishment of “domestic clause” (i.e. #dualcitizenship restriction) in Germany 🇩🇪 affect naturalization rates after 2000?

We find it did not.

The “Inlandsklausel” before 2000 exempted German citizens who acquired another citizenship from losing 🇩🇪 citizenship if they lived in 🇩🇪.

This ‘backdoor to dual citizenship’ enabled naturalising migrants to renounce, and then reacquire, their origin citizenship. Image

Data: we combine data from SOEP (@DIW_Berlin_en) with @_GlobalCIT data on #citizenship reacquisition policies in origin countries.

Method: we employ a difference-in-differences strategy and compare naturalization rates between 1993 and 2006. Image
