Sažetak
The acceptance of dual nationality has become part of citizenship policies in most countries of the European Union. Past research of the sources and types of that phenomenon focused on the problems of international migrations and on policy towards immigrants in the main European immigrant countries, with little attention given to other sources and types. In the first part of this paper we analyse sources and types of dual nationality and we distinguish between “immigrant”, “emigrant” and “transborder” dual nationality. In the next three parts we discuss the question of dual nationality in the citizenship policies of six EU countries that allow dual nationality and express the specificities of the mentioned types, and we analyse the nature of the differences between national policies within them given their ideological bases, institutional forms and political functions. The analysis shows that there are significant differences between those types, especially between the “immigrant” and the other two types, but also that the policies of “transborder” dual nationality have a different ideological basis and function from the seemingly similar policies of “emigrant” dual nationality.
