Résumé

Globalization is presenting major challenges in many counties by reducing the role of borders in defining state sovereignty. Many of the challenges posed can as well be converted to opportunities, depending on how a nation responds. A number of nations have enacted legislation that are tolerant to dual and multiple citizenship in order to create stronger ties to emigrated nationals for economic reasons. Other nations have embraced the concept to integrate immigrants into the nation’s social, political and economic fabric of the society. This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities of dual citizenship in Kenya. It is noted that though Kenya is primarily a migrant “sender,” it is also a significant “receiver” state. Consequently, a dual approach to dual citizenship that engages its national in the Diaspora (emigrant approach), as well as integrating immigrants into the social, political, and economic fabric of the society (immigrant approach), isproposed.
