Abstract
This paper attempts to examine why political parties hold divergent preferences toward entry or integration policies on permanent migrants. While following traditional center-right and center-left dichotomy in understanding and identifying dissimilar party ideologies, I argue that citizenship law regime (jus soli or jus sanguinis) plays an essential role in constructing politicians’ attitude. To test this hypothesis, I apply Chapel Hill Expert Survey (2014) dataset on political parties within European democracies in order to parse out dynamics evolving around in party-level calculations. A linear regression model with country fixed effects along with predicted probabilities support a significance of citizenship law regime when we study migration policies. Index Terms- Citizenship Law, Party Ideology, Permanent Migrants, Political Partie.
