| dc.description.abstract | This thesis investigates the link between the Dutch asylum procedure and citizenship. This is done through a policy analysis, for which explorative expert interviews were the basis. Historical trends, relevant developments and practical outcomes are discussed in order to illustrate the current situation of the Dutch asylum space. It is concluded that this space has increasingly grown into a state of exception over the past years due to securitisation within migration and asylum policies. Statelessness is a form of rightlessness that is also found in the asylum space. The concept is used here as a state of being in which one experiences barriers to gain rights. Researching the asylum space through a statelessness lens, revealed elements of the stateless condition. This is often due to the inaccessibility of citizenship or nationality for asylum seekers. This comes to light in the asylum space in, for example, the track policy and the documentation requirements for formal identification. This study concludes that statelessness can be understood as a general condition in the Dutch asylum space. | en_US |
