'Rigorous and sparklingly innovative interdisciplinary volume on
emergent global commodification of citizenship status, offering a
robust set of stringent empirical and historical analyses, framed
by a resolutely non-romanticist conceptual approach to citizenship
as status and practice, this collection lays indispensable
groundwork for a new generation of 'citizenship studies'. Essential
reading for the field going forward.' Linda Bosniak, Rutgers Law
School
'Passports by investment may be the ultimate political turn of
globalization. Such programs recognize the demand for alternative
citizenship or residence and supply these to the elite of the
world. This deeply researched and well-written volume provides all
the analytical tools and empirics for scholars and policymakers to
study these arrangements and contemplate the longer term
implications.' Miguel A. Centeno, Princeton University
'The prospect of 'selling citizenship' provokes indignation from
those who cling to a romantic idea of what citizenship should mean,
be or do. The authors of this volume proceed from the reality of
what citizenship as legal status actually is and does, and raise
important questions about the normative and pragmatic implications
for regulating how citizenship is distributed.' Audrey Macklin,
University of Toronto
'… this book is a valuable multidisciplinary resource on many
different elements of these important products and the regulatory
challenges they pose.' Bruce Zagaris, Tax Notes International
'… an excellent collection of the arguments in favour of the CBI
[Citizenship for Investment] programs.' Peter Hilpold, Europa
Ethnica
'The fact remains that by articulating law, economics and political
science to subject residence and nationality to a close debate, the
collective work edited by Kochenov and Surak presents an impressive
series of arguments, likely to make the most seasoned specialists
doubt. These arguments, in fact, feed a fundamental debate that is
sometimes a little easily dismissed, by a few vague and irenic
considerations on the importance and persistence of the nation.
After Kochenov and Surak's book, such casualness is no longer an
option. Perhaps more than convincing, then, the book destabilizes
and gives us food for thought. Can one find a more pressing need
for a book on the humanities?' Etienne Pataut , Revue Critique de
Droit International Privé
