President Donald Trump has falsely claimed the U.S. is alone in offering citizenship as a birthright. More than 30 countries offer birthright citizenship, but some have rolled it back.

New #OpenAccess publication with @SZonszein in @apsrjournal on the public support for non-citizen voting rights in the United States.

I am thrilled to see this out. Our findings are timely and have important implications for how Americans view democratic inclusion

Turkish citizens will soon have to pay $46 to leave the country on each journey abroad, according to a draft law.

The so-called departure fee used to be only $4.60.

Does anyone know if there is a similar law in any other country in the world?

Sometimes, one gets to do very novel and interesting research one could not do outside of a unique team. This paper is one such study. Coauthored w/ @amirabdulreda & @_ahmedkhattab, this study challenges the notion that public hostility toward immigrants is based solely on fear.

[Political Studies Review @PolStudiesRev]

Analysing #immigration attitudes in 14 #MiddleEast and #NorthAfrica countries, the authors reveal that extreme rights-restricting immigration policies, like the kafala system, lead wealthier natives to be more hostile.

President Saied rejected the first payment of the EU-#Tunisia deal, claiming that it does not fulfill the July agreement. Given its vagueness, resistance within the EU and Saied's recent actions, this agreement is becoming more farcical by the day... https://t.co/COQDYW9AcJ
