Strategic Dual Citizenship: Global Dynamics of Supply and Demand . Sitzungsberichte der philosophisch-historischen Klasse|Dual Citizenship and Naturalisation|
No full textThe growing toleration of dual citizenship changes the basic rules governing citizenship attribution. It creates new possibilities for legal connections between states and individuals, including overlapping memberships and belonging from a distance. In this chapter, I argue that the legitimisation of dual citizenship leads to the adoption of strategic policies on the part of states (the “supply” side) as well as on the part of eligible individuals (the “demand” side). Numerous states use dual citizenship policies to select new citizens that do not live on their territory and do not intend to relocate or give up their original citizenship. These include the descendants of emigrants (e.g. Italian descendants in South America who are now offered Italian citizenship), cross-border co-ethnics (such as ethnic Hungarians in the countries surrounding Hungary), as well as millionaires from developing countries who can now – for a hefty sum – acquire citizenship from a country where they have never set foot. From the perspective of eligible individuals, such schemes offer opportunities to strategically expand their scope of rights and opportunities by acquiring a second citizenship that is ranked higher in the global hierarchy of citizenship value. The expected benefits may include global travel freedom, an insurance policy and broader economic opportunities. These developments, which impact both states and individuals, weaken the traditional association between citizenship and national identity

No full textThis paper assesses the relationship of early Mycenaean tholoi with rock-cut chamber tombs, especially atthe level of funerary monumentality from LH I to LH IIIA1. Studies on this subject in the Late Bronze Age tend to focuson particular sites or just on tholos tombs. The extant monumental chamber tombs, however, help bring to light somesignificant, and hitherto little observed, patterns with wider social implications at a regional and at an Aegean level.There is now good data to suggest that chamber tombs may not have been complementary to tholoi within a notionalhierarchy of ‘funerary types’ or ‘burial styles’ in the early Mycenaean period. Funerary structures and their associatedburials, whether in tholoi or chamber tombs, suggest complex social strategies on behalf of the tomb-using groups ina politically dynamic period for Aegean affairs. It is argued that funerary monumentality in tholos and chamber tombarchitecture helped to create competing and complementing social narratives and long-lasting mnemonic landscapesthat were important for materialising ideology and negotiating power in the early Mycenaean period

No full textConstruction of a new roof over the Main Building of the Palace of Nestor necessitated preliminary archaeologicalexcavation in 2012–2013. The research was conducted by the Ephorate of Antiquities of Messenia with supportfrom the University of Cincinnati. It was possible to explore the early history of the site for the first time since the1960s. Here we describe two ESPA projects for the protection, promotion, and enhancement of the site, together withthe highlights of our archaeological research that are particularly relevant to the early Mycenaean period
