“…Other authors, who have analyzed the strategic and instrumental use of citizenship in times of crisis, have suggested that naturalization processes should be embedded in a complex matrix of national and international regimes, which create structures of opportunities that can be used by both migrants and states to mitigate the deterioration of the socio-economic dimension of integration (Finotelli et al, 2017). More recently, comparative analyses have addressed the stability of the citizenship regime in the Spanish case despite its transformation into one of Europe's principal countries of immigration (Pasetti, 2019) or its characterization in accordance with citizenship theories and immigrant incorporation models (Duarte de Carvalho, 2020).…”

This article offers a state of the art of research on migration policies, participation and the political construction of immigration in Spain. It starts with an overview of migration policy, addressing the impact of the 2008 economic crisis on the configuration of the political agenda. Secondly, it addresses the political participation of immigrants in Spain and their role as “new” voters. Finally, the appearance of the extreme right political party VOX has shifted the classic debates on the attitudes of the population towards immigration and built a new anti-immigration discourse. The article argues that academic interest and scientific production have been modulated in line with the various phases of Spain’s configuration as a country of immigration. The text ends with some reflections on the impact of the COVID-19 crisis, which has opened up a period of major challenge and uncertainty.

“…Így rövid életű, instabil jobbközép és balközép koalíciós kormányok váltják egymást, ezzel az 1990-es évekig hiányzó politikai váltógazdaság megvalósult. A koalíciós tömbök nem homogének, paradox módon megtörténhet az is, 23 Pasetti (2019): i. m. 13-14. hogy a kormányzó koalíciót egy témában az ellenzék jobban támogatja, mint saját többsége. Mivel a pártok állampolgársággal kapcsolatos álláspontjai között jelentős és gyakran feloldhatatlan különbségek vannak, maga a koalíciós kormányokra épülő politikai rendszer az állampolgársági törvény megreformálásának egyik akadálya.…”

Az elmúlt évtizedek olaszországi demográfiai változásai -a bevándorlók számának növekedése, az olasz lakosság csökkenése és elöregedése -egyre sürgetőbbé teszik az állampolgársági törvény reformját, hogy az illeszkedjen a nemzetközi környezethez. Az olasz politika és média figyelme is az újonnan érkező bevándorlókra és az illegális bevándorlás megállítására irányul, mintsem az olasz állampolgárság nélkül az országban élő külföldiek jogi helyzetének rendezésére, akik közül több közösség már a második generációjával él -és szocializálódik -Olaszországban (például marokkói, albán, kínai, román közösségek). Az érintett népesség aránya és láthatósága egyre nő, azonban a széttöredezett olasz politikai rendszer nem tud konszenzusra jutni az állampolgársági törvény reformjáról, így az évek óta napirenden levő (feltételes) ius soli bevezetése egyre csúszik.

“…Effectively, the reduction of the residence criteria imposed on immigrants' naturalization was included in the PSOE's party manifesto for the 2000 general election but excluded from the similar documents presented at the 2004, 2008, and 2011ballots (PSOE, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2011. Moreover, the inaction regarding immigrants' acquisition of Spanish nationality contrasts heavily with the legislation enacted in 2007 ('Ley de Nietos') to expand the ties with the emigrant community and their descendants (Hazan, 2014;Pasetti, 2019).…”

Against the backdrop of a restrictive backlash in Europe, this article examines Portugal and Spain's policies on immigrants' acquisition of their national citizenships and assesses their potential convergence towards a common model. Drawing on a qualitative comparative analysis, this investigation also seeks to understand the evolution of the two Iberian countries' approaches by exploring the dominant theories on the variation of citizenship regimes. A significant degree of policy convergence over an assimilationist model was identified between the early 1990s and the mid-2000s. Thereafter, Portugal shifted towards a multicultural model, whilst policy stability was observed in Spain. Policy variation between the two countries was mostly associated with the role of political ideas, in particular the centre-left parties' commitment to multiculturalism. Furthermore, this investigation highlights the divergence of Portugal's approach from the wider restrictive backlash supposedly observed in Europe, whilst Spain continues to uphold an assimilation model in the twentieth-first century.
