Rights and Duties of Dual Nationals:Evolution and Prospects
David Martin
The increased emergence of dual and multiple nationality in our  globalized world has recently led to public and scholarly debates on a  number of resulting practical questions. This book comprehensively  evaluates the legal status of dual nationals on the basis of a  comparative analysis, with emphasis on practice and law in the United  States of America, the Federal Republic of Germany, Turkey and other  selected countries, comprising contributions of both academics and  practitioners. Among the legal subjects examined more intensively are  the exercise of political rights by dual nationals, including voting  and office holding, performance of military service, loss and  withdrawal of citizenship, and effects of dual nationality on judicial  cooperation, as well as aspects of private international law. The  authors pay attention to developmental trends and legal changes in  various countries, and also to the philosophical and theoretical  perspectives underlying various practices. Specific recommendations  for states dealing with dual nationality complete the investigation.
