Abstract

In 1995, the government of Mexico began seriously to consider amending its Constitution to allow for dual nationality, whereby a Mexican could be recognized as holding two nationalities at the same time.

Two questions arise as one considers dual nationality in Mexico. First, what has really influenced the philosophical change in Mexico regarding dual nationality?

Second, why has Mexico started considering dual nationality now?
