Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper discussing the debate surrounding this issue. In earlier days, all a naturalized American citizen had to do to lose his new American citizenship was to retain or renew legal nationality in another nation. That attitude has been changing in the last half of the past century. Each side of the debate has been clearly stated without effecting changes. The paper suggests that perhaps dual citizenship could be used as a tool in the continued globalization of business rather than as a point of division. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
