Abstract

What explains the variation in public attitudes towards dual citizenship? This study tests the relationship between subjective individual and country-level economic circumstances and personal approval of dual citizenship. Using survey data from South Korea, Germany, and 19 African countries, I test my theory that poor economic prospects should be associated with greater approval of dual citizenship in one’s country of origin. I largely find null results, which indicates that, in most places, economic considerations do not play a large role in determining attitudes towards dual citizenship.
