The View of Expatriate Austrians on Dual Citizenship: The Results of a Worldwide Survey . Sitzungsberichte der philosophisch-historischen Klasse|Dual Citizenship and Naturalisation|
No full textThis chapter presents and discusses the results of a worldwide survey on dual citizenship among Austrians living abroad. A total of 2,403 people took part. The questions mainly focused on the respondents’ attitudes towards (dual) citizenship. Most respondents showed a great interest in the subject. However, there are significant differences regarding the host country, the duration of stay in the foreign country and the level of education. Persons living in a Western country, as well as those with higher education, tend to be more in favour of dual citizenship. The longer people stay in a country, the more important the topic becomes to them. However, after a certain time (more than 20 years), the importance decreases again. The respondents evaluate citizenship not only for its symbolic and emotional value but also for its strategic advantages

No full textThe Past and (Post-COVID) Future of Dual Citizenship. Sitzungsberichte der philosophisch-historischen Klasse|Dual Citizenship and Naturalisation|
No full textDual citizenship was once the bane of states and individuals. Today, a clear majority of states accept the status and it has become commonplace. The shift reflects changes in the nature not only of national identity but also of the individual’s relationship to the state and to the world. States have almost no remaining incentive to police dual citizenship at the same time that individuals often have incentives, sometimes substantial ones, to secure it. This chapter first recounts how dual citizenship came to be normalised. It then considers how the COVID pandemic might impact on dual-citizenship opportunity structures. Although COVID may diminish the instrumental value of dual citizenship for purposes of third-country mobility privileges, it highlights the core benefit of admission rights into the country of additional nationality. Dual citizenship now becomes a kind of global health insurance as well as a way to protect mobility rights, even for those already holding premium passports. For transnational elites, these newly surfaced advantages will magnify incentives to secure investment citizenship. Others will be motivated to avail themselves of ancestral and other forms of strategic citizenship. States, meanwhile, are unlikely to see serious new costs to pre-COVID citizenship practices. Demand for dual citizenship is thus likely to rise while remaining broadly available
Understanding Current Trends in Global Urbanisation - The World Settlement Footprint Suite. GI_Forum|GI_Forum 2021, Volume 1|
No full textTo improve the understanding of current trends in global urbanisation, we have launched the World Settlement Footprint (WSF) suite, a collection of novel datasets aimed at providing accurate, reliable and frequent information on the location and extent of human settlements, as well as on their morphology and built-up density. In this paper, we present three of its products (i.e., the WSF-Evolution, WSF2019 and WSF3D), which are expected to become an asset for national statistical offices, local authorities, academia, civil society, private sector, geospatial information community, as well as international organisations involved in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goal 11 of the United Nations and the New Urban Agenda

No full textSymbol-based preconditioning for Riesz distributed-order space-fractional diffusion equations. ETNA - Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis
No full textIn this work, we examine the numerical solution of a 1D distributed-order space-fractional diffusion equation. Discretizing the given problem by means of an implicit finite difference scheme based on the shifted Grünwald-Letnikov formula, the resulting linear systems show a Toeplitz structure. Then, by using well-known spectral tools for Toeplitz sequences, we determine the corresponding symbol describing its asymptotic eigenvalue distribution as the matrix size diverges. The spectral analysis is performed under different assumptions with the aim of estimating the intrinsic asymptotic ill-conditioning of the involved matrices. The obtained results suggest to precondition the involved linear systems with either a Laplacian-like preconditioner or with more general τ-preconditioners. Due to the symmetric positive definite nature of the coefficient matrices, we opt for the preconditioned conjugate gradient method, and we compare the performances of our proposal with a Strang circulant alternative given in the literature
