Dimitry Kochenov: 'There is no direct correlation between the power of a state and the quality of its nationality'

Having multiple passports and citizenship that bears no relation to where you were born is something most people associate with James Bond. But these days it is no longer simply the stuff. 'States differ to a great degree. Russia is huge, Swaziland is small, Luxembourg is rich, Mongolia is less so. Just as with the states, nationalities themselves differ too', said Professor Dr Dimitry Kochenov, a law professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, and one of the creators of the QNI, in the Bangkok Post (https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/1213761/citizenship-for-sale).
