Immigration law

Over the past decades a growing number of countries have offered citizenship or residence in return for a donation or investment. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of this phenomenon, this open access collection examines its legal, political, and conceptual implications.

The volume consists of four parts. The first part documents recent trends in investment migration and seeks to understand its implications for our understanding of the concept of citizenship. The second part provides a legal and normative assessment of investment migration, from the perspective of both EU and international law. The third part presents case studies of investment migration practices in countries from around the world, including from jurisdictions that have so far remained under-researched. The fourth part deals with the specific EU legal-political context and also engages with the case launched by the European Commission against Malta.

The book assembles the leading experts in the field and offers a rigorous and balanced analysis of this sometimes controversial field.

Reviews for Investment Migration in Europe and the World: Current Issues

An impressive and definitive volume on citizenship and residence by investment – reflecting a rich and textured variety of perspectives from the theoretical to the empirical, from the global to the country-specific, and from the approving to the skeptical. This book is an invaluable resource, a penetrating analysis of an important global trend and what that trend says about citizenship itself. * Prof. Hiroshi Motomura, Susan Westerberg Prager Distinguished Professor of Law, UCLA Law School * A compelling and masterful collection. Nuanced, rich, and thought-provoking – the work interrogates assumptions and challenges the hypocrisies that pervade investment migration discourse, demanding honest appraisal of the morality of traditional citizenship regimes. Packed with gems from the leading intellectual lights of citizenship scholarship, this essential book is deeply contextualised, rigorous and forensically rooted in evidence, from a huge range of schemes and jurisdictions around the world. * Prof. Charlotte O’Brien, Professor of Law and York Law School Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Champion *
