Check out item @CNN on #dualcitizenship trends with ref to @_GlobalCIT and @macimide data and comment from yours truly.

If you’re curious, this is what the trend in acceptance of #dualcitizenship for expats looks like over the past six decades.

macimide.maastrichtuniversity.nl/dual-cit-datab… Image Over the past two decades, nearly all changes in #dualcitizenship acceptance for expats have been towards a tolerant approach. Image

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.

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

with Anna Tegunimataka (@lunduniversity), Floris Peters (@macimide) and Pieter Bevelander (@MalmoMigration)

is now available in @ESR_news! 🌞

@MiLifeStatus @ERC_Research

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

voortdurende #catch22 situatie is schandalig

< april 2001: 1ste asielaanvraag

2007: pardonregeling vanwege langdurige onduidelijkheid over status

2014: @wodc_nl -> 71% niet genaturaliseerd omdat geen toegang paspoort herkomstland en/of geboorteakte

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.

frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… \2

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
