Abstract
Modes of Acquisition and Loss of Citizenship Around the World - Comparative Typology and Main Patterns in 2020
Highlights
This Working Paper introduces the new GLOBALCIT Citizenship Law Dataset (Vink et al 2021a), by discussing the systematisation of the comparative typology of modes of acquisition and loss of citizenship in the new Dataset and describing the main patterns observed around the world in 2020
It differs from the GLOBALCIT Citizenship Law Indicators (CITLAW) indicators, which aim to measure the degree of inclusiveness of provisions on an ordinal scale (Jeffers et al 2017)
The GLOBALCIT Citizenship Law Dataset is the first dataset of its kind that is global in scope and covers a comprehensive range of citizenship law provisions
Summary
This Working Paper introduces the new GLOBALCIT Citizenship Law Dataset (Vink et al 2021a), by discussing the systematisation of the comparative typology of modes of acquisition and loss of citizenship in the new Dataset and describing the main patterns observed around the world in 2020. The Dataset is descriptive in nature, as it categorises legal provisions on the acquisition of loss and citizenship and captures their main categorical distinctions. It differs from the GLOBALCIT Citizenship Law Indicators (CITLAW) indicators, which aim to measure the degree of inclusiveness of provisions on an ordinal scale (Jeffers et al 2017). The GLOBALCIT Global Birthright Indicators take a similar ordinal approach towards provisions for acquisition of citizenship iure sanguinis and iure soli at birth (Honohan et al 2017)
