Summary

Acquiring additional citizenships by birth, naturalization or investment, is increasingly common but is it morally problematic? Multiple citizenship compromises the coherence of collective decisions, the constitution of the demos, and global equality. Unbundling the rights of citizenship for separate allocation, can solve many of those problems.
