Outline of Research at the Start

Two decades of marriage migration has changed not only demographic reality of East Asian countries, but also brought about significant shift in the concept of citizenship. This study examines dual citizenship claims of marriage immigrants from the Philippines and Vietnam in South Korea.

Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project takes ‘bottom-up’ approach to examine dual citizenship claims based on in-depth interviews with marriage immigrants from the Philippines and Vietnam who are residing in South Korea. I aimed to suggest a more nuanced picture of how individuals understand and respond to dual citizenship opportunities on the ground within the particular context of marriage migration and stratified nationalities. Based on in-depth interviews with 45 marriage migrant women from the Philippines (35 women) and Vietnam (10 women) residing in urban and rural areas of Korea, I examined the dual citizenship claims-making of marriage migrant women in Korea, focusing on why and how these women engage (or do not engage) in claims-making.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

By providing an explicit link between ordinary people’s claims and practice of dual citizenship and the normative citizenship ideals of the involved states, this project contributes to a more holistic approach to understanding dual citizenship.
