Abstract:
The focus of the session is on two special types of citizenship acquisition, namely citizenship by investment and Olympic citizenship. Both of them are commonly extraterritorial, even if based on different grounds for obtaining the passport (money, merit). As a result, they create “long-distance citizens”, i.e. persons who are unlikely to relocate to their new country. We will explore and question the instrumental nature of these special cases of citizenship acquisition, and investigate where they may be located in the debate on the ‘genuine link’ and ‘strategic citizenship’.
