Bağlamda ikilik: Türkiye'de çifte vatandaşlığa çok katmanlı yaklaşım

The citizenship institution of today is marked by a steady trend towards states' broader acceptance of dual citizenship. This rapid spread of membership in more than one polity raises numerous questions concerning migrants' rights and obligations, participation and identity. Against geographical and contextual boundaries in the dual citizenship literature, this study explores the institution of dual citizenship through an alteration in the setting and framework. Employing the case of Turkey from the global south, this research assesses the impacts of dual citizenship on the traditional notion of citizenship through the utilization of Kymlicka and Norman's (2000) citizenship dimensions, which include formal status, activity and identity. For a comprehensive analysis, the triadic setting of the research incorporates all the relevant actors of international migration with Turkey as the host state, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Germany, Iran, Iraq, Russia, Syria, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan as the major sending countries to Turkey, and finally, the international migrants in Turkey's immigration space. Based on the perceptions and practices of sending and host states and migrants, first, dual citizenship leads to only a partial paralysis of traditional citizenship and second, it is not perceived affect integration. These two contributions pave the way for a third and more significant contribution to the literature on dual citizenship. Sesqui citizenship, standing for "one and a half citizenship" to imply the "less than wholeness" of this status, highlights the asymmetrical, unbalanced weight of citizenship dimensions through the perspectives of migrants, sending states and host states. Sesqui citizenship not only reveals the actors' unsymmetrical relationship with various citizenship dimensions, but also describes the asymmetry between the three actors' positions concerning dual citizenship. To conclude, sesqui citizenship presents a further differentiation of the citizenship conception in a setting different from the typical dual citizenship research context.
