Title Extending the Citizenry: A Comparative Study of External Citizenship Policies in Hungary and Ireland
Summary The thesis compares the Hungarian and the Irish citizenship legislation focusing on the external politics of belonging and membership of the two states. The research finds that despite the differences between the two countries, both of them follow the re-ethnicizing trend of citizenship. In addition, it is argued that a common European norm regulating the attribution of affinity-based external citizenship would be in place in order to avoid, on the one hand, the conflicts that such legislation might cause in both domestic political life and in inter-state relations; and on the other hand, to accomodate the demands of co-ethnics residing outside the borders of the given state.
