Citizenship

In Citizenship: What Everyone Needs to Know, legal scholar Peter J. Spiro explores the multifaceted concept of citizenship, examining its history, benefits, obligations, and variations across different contexts. The book addresses key questions about how citizenship is obtained or lost, and considers contemporary issues such as statelessness, the refugee crisis, and the implications of global and investor citizenship. Spiro also reflects on the future of citizenship amidst rising nationalist and extremist movements, offering a historical and critical perspective on this fundamental aspect of modern life.
