House and Passport in the Caribbean

White beaches, turquoise blue sea - and a second passport in your hand luggage: the Caribbean is not only a dream destination for vacationers, but also a global laboratory for new forms of citizenship and real estate investment.This book takes you right into the world of citizenship by investment programs, residency models, and exclusive second homes. It shows how small island states have turned their sovereignty into an economic asset, why villas, resorts, and fund shares are suddenly more than just vacation pleasures, and what opportunities, risks, and contradictions are associated with them.With a look at history, international politics, and the very practical reality on the ground, a panorama emerges that touches on dreams of sun and security while also revealing the sober facts of law, taxes, and geopolitics. From Antigua to the Cayman Islands, from Dominica to Barbados, the Caribbean is presented here as a space where second homes and second passports are closely intertwined.Bremen University Press has published over 5,000 specialist books in various languages since 2005.September 2025
