Abstract

The topic of dual nationality has become a challenging issue in the Islamic Republic of Iran for many years. This study using a qualitative method and relying on the principle of responsibility in government tries to evaluate the existing approaches towards Iranian dual nationals.The main question is, "What are the existing approaches towards Iranian dual nationality, and what is the government's responsibility towards them?", and the main hypothesis is: “The predominance of a purely threat-oriented or purely opportunity-oriented view during the last few decades among the governments, instead of formulating moderate policies, in addition to making the issue of Iranian dual nationality more complicated and even distancing Iranians abroad from their homeland, have been incurred many expenses for national interests of Iran in the domestic and global arena. Also, in the following, this subject will be examined that creating a balance between the negative and positive views of officials on the one hand and creating trust-building attractions between the two dual nationality on the other hand, can provide a suitable basis for coherent and efficient policy-making and the development of an optimal model for solving the problem of Iranian dual nationals.
