The proliferation of investor citizenship programmes in the last decade has led to increased international mobility to those who can shell out the necessary investments for their preferred passports. But the nature of golden visa schemes — the lack of transparency and accountability mechanisms, in particular — has meant that such programmes often operate in a shadowy world that remains relatively far from the reach of international institutions.The primary actors involved in such arrangements are national governments and the private companies associated with what has become a lucrative global business: real estate companies as well as law and accounting firms specialising in tax management and so-called citizenship planning for high-net-worth individuals.In this Policy Leader Fellow talk, the panelists will examine the implications of these programmes for global governance. The event will be moderated by Policy Leader Fellow Anna Patricia Valerio.Speakers:Jelena Džankic, Co-Director of the Global Citizenship ObservatoryKristin Surak, Assistant Professor in Sociology at the London School of EconomicsAnna Patricia Valerio, Policy Leader Fellow Scientific Organiser(s): Claudio Radaelli (EUI School of Transnational Governance) Speaker(s): Anna Patricia Valerio (EUI) Jelena Džankić (EUI - Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies)
