| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Since 1955, one important trend regarding dual nationality was observable in East Germany and the People’s Republic of China (PRC): the official rejection of dual nationality itself. While East Germany’s effort in preventing dual nationality was motivated by the socialist nationality principles of its Eastern European allies, the PRC’s effort was aimed at ending its diplomatic isolation in the Southeast Asian region. In both states, bilateral treaties were preferred over national legislation in overcoming dual nationality. This article compares the implementation of a single nationality principle through bilateral treaties and suggests that the PRC’s effort was unsuccessful because it was confronted with unfavourable international circumstances compared to East Germany. |
