Citizenship and residence by investment is a fast-growing global phenomenon. As of 2022, more than a third of all countries in the world offered such immigration path. Yet we know little about how such investment programmes operate and debates in academia and the wider public are often misinformed by sensationalist cases.

The book "Citizenship and Residence Sales" offers a multidisciplinary exploration of both citizenship and residence by investment on a global scale. The volume demystifies citizenship and residence by investment and takes a critical postcolonial global perspective, addressing key issues in belonging, exclusion, and inequality that define the world today.

The book talk will introduced by Sophie Meunier, senior research scholar in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs co-director of the EU Program.
