In Ius Doni in International Law and EU Law, Dr. Christian H. Kaelin establishes the concept of ius doni in the contemporary legal and political theorising of citizenship. Providing a comprehensive analysis of the subject, the book discusses the legal and political concepts of citizenship. It also introduces a new term for what is already an increasingly common and accepted practice of granting citizenship on the basis of substantial contributions to the State. Consisting of two main parts - law and practice - the monograph analyses the ius doni concept in both international law and EU law, further tests its application in practice and establishes best practices among states. Finally, the book discusses the conceptual and practical implications for citizenship.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The acquisition of citizenship by investment is an important element of planning that affects global families. Christian Kaelin is one of few in the world with comprehensive knowledge and experience of global citizenship options, and has now shared this knowledge with not only the small circle of those privileged to have access to him, but to all readers of this seminal work." - Philip Marcovici, Offices of Philip Marcovici, Hong Kong
"A global trend, and quickly spreading among states, is the allocation of citizenship to individuals who make a contribution to the economy and society by way of investment or donation. As a forward-thinking government, we welcome this pioneering academic study, which, besides offering theoretical underpinnings of ius doni, creates the necessary foundation for solid government policy in this field." - Hon. Dr. Joseph Muscat, Prime Minister of Malta
"The rise of citizenship-by-investment programs is one of the most interesting - and least studied - ways in which nation-states have responded to globalization. Dr. Kaelin has a unique perspective on this phenomenon as both a scholar and a practitioner. In this book, he provides an insightful discussion of the legal construction of investment citizenship and its relation to national laws, EU norms and international standards." - Dr. Yossi Harpaz, Tel-Aviv University
"This important book introduces a new concept to the legal lexicon of citizenship: ius doni, which is the acquisition of citizenship by donation or investment. While this practice was known in ancient Greece and Rome, it signals an instrumental turn of citizenship in our global business civilization. Written with academic authority and practical savvy alike, this excellent book will appeal to many audiences, academics, legal practitioners, and anyone interested in the future of citizenship." - Professor Dr. Christian Joppke, University of Bern
"A masterful and path-breaking analysis of one of the crucial new developments in citizenship law from the doyen of global ius doni practice" - Professor Dr. Dimitry Kochenov, University of Groningen
"Citizenship by investment marks one of the latest but certainly not the final stage of evolution in the methods of acquiring citizenship. Clarification of this concept in general, and answers to key questions are either missing in academic literature or have not been sufficiently addressed. In this remarkable book, Dr. Chris Kaelin provides a thorough analysis and answers in what can be considered the standard work on the subject." - Bruno L'ecuyer, CEO of the Investment Migration Council, Geneva
