Reviews
“The extension of citizenship privileges to co-ethnics abroad is one of the most striking trends in contemporary citizenship. There is no better compass for this than Szabolcs Pogonyi`s impressive first book in English. Pogonyi shows how Hungarian populists used the process to build `illiberal` democracy at home.” (Christian Joppke, Executive Director and Professor of General Sociology, University of Bern, Switzerland)
“Pogonyi’s book is a masterful study of Hungary’s extraterritorial citizenship policies. Combining theoretical depth with nuanced comparative empirical analysis, the book provides a compelling explanation for why Hungary has developed arguably the most activist strategy of transborder nation-building in Central and Eastern Europe. It also offers the first comparative account of how a kin-citizenship project impacts the identity-formation and democratic claim-making potential of transborder minorities in their home states. A must-read for scholars and policy-practitioners alike.” (Zsuzsa Csergő, Associate Professor of Political Studies, Queen’s University, Canada)
