Dual citizenship provides access to secure legal status and rights in more than one country for an unprecedented number of migrants and their descendants worldwide. While this double allegiance requires matching legal regulations between two states, existing studies of dual citizenship typically focus on migrant origin or destination perspectives....

In this chapter we provide a critical appraisal of data collection and statistical data production on migrants and migration, indicators used to identify migrants, and the different uses of migration statistics for political and scientific purposes. We will start off by a brief review of the politics of statistical data and then provide a short rev...
This book chapter analyses the use the Charter of Fundamental Rights in references for a preliminary ruling between 2010 and 2018. It includes a statistical analysis of the occurrence of Charter rights in preliminary ruling requests. It shows that the Charter is used frequently and also highlights how often certain articles appear and how they link...
This paper investigates states’ commitment to human rights, democracy and rule of law through ratifying Council of Europe treaties. We present a first comprehensive analysis of ratifications of all 221 Council of Europe treaties that opened for ratification since 1949 among the 47 current member states. Applying a multilevel Cox regression, we obse...
While the global increase of expatriate dual citizenship acceptance over the past decades has been widely observed, the temporal and spatial contexts of this trend have remained understudied. Based on a novel dataset of expatriate dual citizenship policies worldwide since 1960 we find that dual citizenship toleration has increased in the last half...
European Yearbook on Human Rights 2018 - by Christian Strohal October 2018
This article presents an analysis of determinants of intimate partner violence (IPV) in the European Union (EU). Based on an EU-wide survey with 42,000 women that examined women’s diverse experiences of violence—from violence by strangers to sexual harassment—this article looks specifically at the survey’s research with respect to the occurrence of...
This paper evaluates the sampling methods of an international survey, the Immigrant Citizens Survey, which aimed at surveying immigrants from outside the European Union (EU) in 15 cities in seven EU countries. In five countries, no sample frame was available for the target population. Consequently, alternative ways to obtain a representative sample...
This report shows the role played by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in supporting the employability and integration of immigrants in Europe in three European countries, framed in their migration history, migration policies, integration policy and levels of integration of migrants in the country. This study complements the findings...
The article raises the question of why immigrants become or do not become citizens of their destination country. Political incorporation of immigrants through naturalisation is driven by several factors, including opportunities to naturalise on the one hand and the (perceived) added value of naturalisation on the other hand. We argue that naturalis...
This chapter is about the role of statistics in the shaping of policies regarding migration and migrant integration. In the nineteenth century already states began to feel a need to register their residents so as to find out who qualify for certain entitlements and who do not, for example because they originate in another country. Population statis...
While women with migration backgrounds play a crucial role for European labour markets, they face considerable challenges with regard to their labour market integration and mobility. In Austria as well as in other European countries, women of Turkish origin have one of the lowest labour market participation rates compared to women in general, but a...
Various EU member states include in their naturalisation framework some form of approximation of the concept defined by the UK government as "earned citizenship", requiring that prospective citizens prove that they "deserve" national citizenship. In this article, we examine this concept of earning citizenship in the narrowest sense of the economic...
This paper describes and analyses the usefulness of naturalisation rates as an indicator for political incorporation of migrants in Europe. This paper was developed in light of the production of indicators of migrant integration across Europe by the European Commission, endorsed by the Ministerial Conference in Zaragoza in 2010. One such indicator...
This is a draft version of a chapter in a volume edited by Rob Bijl & Arjen Verweij entitled "Integration in Europe. An overview of policy and monitoring" (The Hague: The Netherlands Institute for Social Research, pp.43-68, available at https://archief23.sitearchief.nl/archives/sitearchief/20200311115438/https://www.scp.nl/dsresource?objectid=cf309...
Wild assumptions, estimates and number games are made in regard to irregular migration flows. While the numbers cited are, in fact, often dated and of unclear origin, reports use such numbers to suggest a rise in irregular migration; they also usually assume that irregular entry and, to some extent, overstaying are the only significant pathways int...
Die Institution der modernen Staatsbürgerschaft ist ein komplexes politisches, rechtliches und soziales Konstrukt mit einer Reihe von unterschiedlichen Bedeu-tungs- und Analyseebenen. Diese Arbeit legt den Schwerpunkt auf eine soziolo-gische Perspektive, um Staatsbürgerschaft und ihre Bedeutung für Eingewander-te sowie deren Nachkommen zu untersuch...
In diesem Kapitel möchte ich den Zusammenhang zwischen Staatsbürgerschaft und Integration diskutieren. In einem ersten Schritt sollen Definitionen und The-orien von Integration exemplarisch dargestellt werden, um verschiedene Berei-che von Integration herauszufiltern. Ziel dieses Kapitels ist nicht, Integration genau zu definieren bzw. alle sozialw...
Um die Bedeutung der Staatsbürgerschaft und mögliche Folgen einer Einbürge-rung verstehen zu können, müssen die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen genau dargestellt und interpretiert werden. Dieses Kapitel beschreibt zuerst die rechtli-che Entstehung der österreichischen Staatsbürgerschaft. Danach werden die aktuellen rechtlichen Regelungen für eine Ein...
Dieses Kapitel geht der allgemeinen Frage nach, welche Motive und Beweg-gründe hinter einer Einbürgerung stehen. Es wird untersucht, welche Erwartun-gen an den Erwerb der Staatsbürgerschaft gestellt werden. Die Erforschung der Gründe, welche Personen dazu bewegen, eine neue Staatsbürgerschaft aufzu-nehmen, soll auch einen Beitrag dazu leisten, welc...
Einige Studien in Österreich weisen einen signifikanten Unterschied zwischen Eingebürgerten und Nicht-Eingebürgerten in Bezug auf sozio-ökonomische Charakteristika nach. Beispielsweise zeigt Irene Kogan (2003) auf Basis der Mikrozensusdaten von 1996, dass nicht-eingebürgerte ImmigrantInnen mit höhe-rer Wahrscheinlichkeit einem Beruf mit geringerem...
Dieses Kapitel stellt die Entwicklung der Einbürgerungszahlen in Österreich in der zweiten Republik dar. Zuerst werden die allgemeinen Einbürgerungszahlen seit 1945 für Österreich und die einzelnen Bundesländer analysiert und interpre-tiert. Danach wird genauer auf die verschiedenen Herkunftsgruppen eingegan-gen, indem die Statistiken nach vorherig...
Staatsbürgerschaft wird oftmals als ein eindeutiges und klares Konzept verstan-den, definiert als die rechtliche Verbindung zwischen einem Individuum und einem Staat. Versucht man jedoch einen genaueren Blick auf den Begriff Staats-bürgerschaft zu werfen, wird schnell deutlich, dass Staatsbürgerschaft keines-wegs einfach zu definieren ist und mit e...
What precisely belongs to the domain of politics and hence should be considered political participation is not without contention. Most definitions of political participation include both conventional forms of political participation related to electoral politics – such as voting or standing for elections – and various alternative forms of politica...
The article examines the relationship between migration law, discrimination experiences and the subjectively perceived integration of the former "guest-workers" and their family reunion in Austria. The presented analysis is based on paper-and-pencil interviews with 108 immigrants from former Yugoslavia and Turkey, conducted in 2006. These persons h...
