| Title | Affective Citizenship: How do Turkish immigrants emotionally approach Austrian citizenship? |
| Summary | The decision-making process on naturalisation can be affected by many factors. Immigrants and their emotional ties to their home country and host country are crucial to analyze instrumental and emotional motives behind naturalisation processes. Especially for the countries that do not allow for dual citizenship, there is a huge dilemma for immigrants regarding the decision of whether to apply for host country citizenship and renounce home country citizenship. This analysis uses the concept of ‘affective citizenship’ which criticizes political science research for being too rational and neglecting emotions. For this reason, in this research, qualitative interviews will be undertaken to analyze the emotions of respondents through in-depth content analysis. In this thesis project, the decisions of Turkish citizens on naturalisation in Austria and their emotions regarding the renunciation of Turkish citizenship will be analyzed by interviewing them. |
