Discrimination and rights in German naturalization policy
This paper examines German naturalization policies through an analysis of naturalization guidelines from 1921 to 2000 supplemented by archival research into their implementation. The substantive focus, first of all, is on the extent to which naturalization in Germany has become more or less discriminatory in ethnic and economic terms as well as on how one aspect of gender discrimination relating to the naturalization of spouses intersects with et…
The Waxing and Waning of Loyalty in German Citizenship
This paper analyses the waxing and waning of loyalty in German citizenship. The paper focuses on three areas where loyalty historically played a role: military service, requirements that naturalisation candidates commit to support and uphold constitutional values, and debates over exclusive loyalty and dual citizenship. There is an asymmetry between loyalty and disloyalty. Germany no longer requires young male citizens to demonstrate their loyalt…
The decline and limited revival of citizenship deprivation: Germany and Switzerland as deviant cases
A common argument in the literature on loss of citizenship has been that after 1945 most if not all countries liberalised their laws on loss of citizenship until the beginning of a countermovement in 2001. This article focuses on Germany and Switzerland which do not fit this pattern and where after the early 1950s laws on loss of citizenship became less liberal, although not dramatically so. This distinctive German and Swiss pattern can be explai…

Accommodating Islam and the Utility of National Models: The German Case
This article questions the claim that the way German governments have responded to Muslim demands for accommodating Islam fits a German national model. The empirical focus is on Islamic religious instruction in five German Länder. The evidence presented shows that there is not one but several German models. Länder with Christian Democratic dominance were more supportive of confessional religious instruction than Länder where the left was stronger…
Citizenship in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland: Courts, Legislatures, and Administrators
A common claim has been that liberalization of citizenship policy depends on making policy behind closed doors. I challenge one variant of this line of argument, which regards courts as the primary “countermajoritarian” champion of the expansion of immigrant rights, through a comparison of citizenship policy in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. In all three countries subnational authorities play a significant role in the administration of natura…

The diplomacy of compensation for eastern European victims of Nazi crimes
Among victims of Nazi crimes, victims living in eastern Europe faced particularly high hurdles in gaining recognition and receiving at least minimal compensation payments from either the German government or German companies. The legal and political basis for the exclusion of eastern European claims was laid in diplomatic agreements and domestic West German legislation in the early 1950s. Thus, the Cold War played a decisive role in cementing the…
The Harmonization of Eu Export Control Policies
This article analyzes efforts to harmonize European Union export control policies on dual-use goods from the perspectives of neofunctionalist and intergovernmentalist theories of European integration. The outcome of the Council negotiations on dual-use export controls can best be characterized as an intergovernmental bargain. Judicial policy making in this area, on the other hand, fits neofunctionalist expectations rather well, and on implementat…
Explaining Foreign Economic Policy: A Comparison of U.S and West German Export Controls
This article analyzes differences between United States and West German export controls. It shows that United States controls are more extensive and stricter than controls in West Germany. Three possible explanations for this variation in policy are considered. First, these two states differ in regard to their positions in the international system and in their choice of economic strategies. Second, the extent of domestic political support for str…
Safeguards and Profits: Civilian Nuclear Exports, Neo-Marxism, and the Statist Approach
The purpose of this article is to appraise the explanatory capacities of the Statist model and of structural Marxism—amended and elaborated here—as applied to the issue area of the regulation of civilian trade in sensitive nuclear facilities and fuel. During periods of ‘happy convergence’ between the interests of state managers and of pertinent societal groups, many scholars find little to chose between the two models. In moments of ‘policy crisi…
