Abstract

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the issue of multiple citizenship in the context of contemporary globalization processes, which present new challenges for states around the world, particularly Ukraine. Multiple citizenship is an important legal category that affects not only individual rights but also the principles of public administration and national security. The author analyzes the constitutional and legal aspects of multiple citizenship, focusing on the interconnection between citizens’ rights and the challenges arising from the existence of dual or multiple citizenships. The article provides a detailed analysis of how different countries approach the regulation of this issue, particularly through national laws, international agreements, and constitutional norms. The author compares the approaches of various states to the recognition of multiple citizenship and examines the potential problems arising from such approaches, especially in relation to national security and state sovereignty. One of the key aspects is how multiple citizenship can impact the state’s ability to control its citizens and maintain the stability of legal norms in the event of conflicts between the rights of different states. Particular attention is given to recent changes in Ukrainian legislation regarding multiple citizenship and their interaction with international standards. The author analyzes the latest legislative initiatives in Ukraine on this issue and discusses their potential implications for national sovereignty. It is emphasized that in the context of globalization and Ukraine’s integration into international organizations, the issue of multiple citizenship is gaining particular relevance. At the same time, the importance of adapting national legislation to current conditions is highlighted to ensure effective control over citizens and minimize risks associated with dual citizenship. Thus, the article makes a valuable contribution to the study of contemporary trends in the field of citizenship, legal policy, and national security, particularly in the context of globalization processes and the international legal environment.
