All Cit­izens are Cre­ated Equal, but Some are More Equal Than Others

De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

Laura van Waas and Sangita Jaghai ex­am­ine wheth­er na­tion­al­ity, as the legal bond between a person and a state, provides the same se­cur­ity and pack­age of rights to all cit­izens. They high­light how cit­izen­ship by birth may be more secure than cit­izen­ship ac­quired later, while people with a single na­tion­al­ity may be less ex­posed to na­tion­al­ity with­draw­al than those with dual or mul­tiple na­tion­al­ity.
