De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

In an art­icle pub­lished in the Türki­ye Adalet Akademisi Dergisi, Şule Arslan ad­dresses limits on the ac­quis­i­tion of na­tion­al­ity by birth in Turk­ish na­tion­al­ity law. After out­lining the concept of na­tion­al­ity and the prin­cip­al bases for ac­quir­ing it, the art­icle com­pares rules in se­lec­ted common-law and con­tin­ent­al European jur­is­dic­tions and con­siders pro­vi­sions on ac­quis­i­tion by des­cent in the light of Turkey’s chan­ging mi­gra­tion regime.
