Legitimacy of Kin-State Politics: A Theoretical Approach
Legitimacy of Kin-State Politics: A Theoretical Approach

Summary/Abstract: Benefi t laws and dual citizenship have been widely discussed within the minority rights debate. I place both of them in the broader framework of kin-state politics and try to fi nd legitimate arguments for them within the Multiculturalism Debate. I conclude that only national responsibility (symbolic acknowledgment and fi nancial support) is justifi able, that the argument for national integration (special status in the legislation) is limited in content and execution, and that national incorporation (granting citizenship on a cultural and collective base) is unjustifi able in any circumstance.
