Towards an illiberal extraterritorial political community? Hungary’s ‘Simplified Naturalisation’ and its ramification

2019 Included in   The rise of populist nationalism: social resentments and capturing the constitution in Hungary  
Abstract
Through a critical discussion of the ethno-cultural characteristics and the political dimensions of extraterritorial citizenship, the chapter argues that Hungary’s preferential citizenship law must be understood as intimately related to broader constitutional changes. The combined effect of these changes, it is argued, is to substantially shift the meaning of ‘political community’ away from one grounded in liberal–republican frames of meaning and towards one structured around ‘illiberal’ ethical values.
