Yet, interest in dual citizenship has increased, triggered by the success of globalization and a gap in the ideal and reality of the principle of single citizenship. This article, therefore, offers an overview of Norway’s dual citizenship policy and the associated opportunities and risks for African immigrants inclusion. It incor- porates facts and arguments for sociopolitical deliberation in an area where emotional reactions abound. Data were drawn from semi-structured interviews and analysis of policy documents. The fndings demonstrate that allowing dual citizenship activates the prospects for better integration of immigrants in mainstream society. However, dual citizens can be denaturalized if their ac- tions signifcantly harm the interests or image of the state. In this way, the policy constitutes a robust impetus toward standard- ization and normalization of practices that challenge social inte- gration relations. These heuristics are particularly pernicious to immigrants, the casualties of this discourse, because the author- ities are aware of a minimal backlash, considering their limited power to fght back politically. Moreover, a major obstacle in the naturalization of immigrants has been removed. This in turn have positive implications for greater identifcation of migrants with the country of residence, as well as better economic and sociopoliti- cal participation.
