Citizenship 2.0 focuses on an important yet overlooked dimension of
globalization: the steady rise in the legitimacy and prevalence of
dual citizenship. Demand for dual citizenship is particularly high
in Latin America and Eastern Europe, where more than three million
people have obtained a second citizenship from EU countries or the
United States. Most citizenship seekers acquire EU citizenship by
drawing on their ancestry or ethnic origin; others secure U.S.
citizenship for their children by strategically planning their
place of birth. Their aim is to gain a second, compensatory
citizenship that would provide superior travel freedom, broader
opportunities, an insurance policy, and even a status symbol.
Drawing on extensive interviews and fieldwork, Yossi Harpaz
analyzes three cases: Israelis who acquire citizenship from
European-origin countries such as Germany or Poland;
Hungarian-speaking citizens of Serbia who obtain a second
citizenship from Hungary (and, through it, EU citizenship); and
Mexicans who give birth in the United States to secure American
citizenship for their children. Harpaz reveals the growth of
instrumental attitudes toward citizenship: individuals worldwide
increasingly view nationality as rank within a global hierarchy
rather than as a sanctified symbol of a unique national identity.
Citizenship 2.0 sheds light on a fascinating phenomenon that is
expected to have a growing impact on national identity,
immigration, and economic inequality.
