Summary

Introduction

The decision to become a citizen of children with two parents of different nationalities that needs to be made at the age of 18 years requires thoughtful consideration. Considerations which determine of the children own future, and the future of their family. Normative analysis is concerned with the nature of rationality and the logic of decision making.
