Description

Should Swiss national football players dedicate goals they score to their parents’ country of origin? The “double-headed eagle salute” controversy in Switzerland in 2018 triggered a highly emotional debate – for good reason, considering that one in every four Swiss citizens now hold dual citizenship. So it is high time this issue was also addressed as a research topic. This policy brief on dual citizenship presents the key findings of a study commissioned by the Federal Commission on Migration (FCM).
