| Abstract: | Granting ‘Golden passports’ through Citizenship by Investment Programmes (CIPs, or CBIs) has been a global phenomenon for many years, fuelling new discourses on the meanings and value of citizenship. Moreover, the phenomenon emphasises the hyper-mobility of global elites and the renegotiated realities at the nexus of political economy, territoriality, nation statehood, and belonging(ness) in a globalised world. Passport island: The market for EU citizenship in Cyprus by Theodoros Rakopoulos represents a significant contribution to a deeper understanding of the phenomenon and is, to date, the only work that offers an in-depth ethnographic examination of the subject. |
