Description
Book SynopsisAcquiring additional citizenships by birth, naturalization or investment, is increasingly common but is it morally problematic? Multiple citizenship compromises the coherence of collective decisions, the constitution of the demos, and global equality. Unbundling the rights of citizenship for separate allocation, can solve many of those problems.
Trade Review'This is an original, well-informed, sharply written, stimulating normative appraisal of a growing phenomenon that certainly merits this attention. Its argument goes against the assumption that the trend toward multiple citizenship is fundamentally unproblematic. I am confident the book will impact the views of many scholars, whilst spurring others to productive, critical engagements.' Rogers Smith, Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Associate Dean for Social Sciences, University of Pennsylvania
'This is impressive scholarship, well-argued and clearly written, with a light and occasionally witty touch that makes it a very good, even pleasurable read.' Christian Joppke, Executive Director, Institute of Sociology, University of Bern
