Sanctions and International Investment Law: Issues of Jurisdiction Ratione Personae
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has triggered an unprecedented wave of unilateral sanctions by Ukraine and its allies, significantly impacting businesses run by investors that are directly or indirectly affected by these measures. In response, investors are turning to international investment agreements (IIAs) to seek compensation for losses. This article examines the ratione personae issues that may arise in sanctions-based investment disputes, including whether holding the home state’s nationality alone is sufficient for protected investor status, or whether tribunals should look to the corporate claimant’s shareholders to determine its nationality. It also proposes treaty reforms that states can adopt to clarify and resolve the challenges posed by nationality requirements in the context of such disputes.

The Amiche in Ethiopia – Multiple Displacement and Liminality
The Amiche are Eritreans who were born or brought up in Ethiopia before Eritrean independence. This article focuses on the Amiche group's political and social situation. It explores the way its members perceive themselves and are perceived by others over recent years. From a social anthropological perspective, the article examines the extent to which a stable social identity has developed out of fluid and continuous inclusion and exclusion by, and within, neighbouring groups. We argue that the Amiche represent a distinct case of stable liminality – a permanent in-between status that has evolved into a social identity that is unique in its own right, rather than a temporary transitional state. Unlike classical liminality theories that emphasise transition, we demonstrate how protracted displacement and exclusion have produced a relatively stable social group characterised by their very in-betweenness.

The ethics of multiple citizenship
\"Citizenship is no longer an exclusive relationship. Many people today are citizens of multiple countries, whether by birth, naturalization, or even through monetary means, with schemes fast-tracking citizenship applications from foreigners making large investments in the state. Moral problems surround each of those ways of acquiring a second citizenship, while retaining one's original citizenship. Multiple citizenship can also have morally problematic consequences for the coherence of collective decisions, for the constitution of the demos, and for global inequality. The phenomenon of multiple citizenship and its ramifications remains understudied, despite its magnitude and political importance. In this innovative book, Ana Tanasoca explores these issues and shows how they could be avoided by unbundling the rights that currently come with citizenship and allocating them separately. It will appeal to scholars and students of normative political theory, citizenship, global justice, and migration in political science, law, and sociology\"-- Provided by publisher.

Dual Citizenship in Europe
In an age of terrorism and securitized immigration, dual citizenship is of central theoretical and political concern. The contributors to this timely volume examine policies regarding dual citizenship across Europe, covering a wide spectrum of countries. The case studies explore the negotiated character and boundaries of political membership and the fundamental beliefs and arguments within distinct political cultures and institutional settings which have shaped debates and policies on citizenship. The analyses explore the similarities and differences in the politics of dual citizenship, to identify the dominant terms of public debates within and across selected immigration and emigration states in Europe. The research demonstrates that policies on dual citizenship are not simply explained by different concepts of nationhood. Instead, concepts of societal integration, which may well be contested in a given polity, are extremely influential.

There are the fastest master butterfly swimmers competing in the fina world masters championships from?
While the butterfly stroke has received considerable attention in sports science, the origin of the fastest master butterfly swimmers remains unknown. The present study investigated which geographical locations produce the top-performing master butterfly swimmers within their age groups and gender. A total of 26,512 master butterfly swimmers (11,288 women and 15,224 men) competed in 50 m, 100 m and 200 m races in World Masters Championships held between 1986 and 2019. From each swimmer, the year of competition, first name, last name, age group and distance were recorded. Descriptive data were presented using mean, standard deviation, maximum and minimum values, and/or confidence intervals. The top 10 race times for master butterfly swimming and gender were identified for descriptive purposes. Nationalities were then grouped into six categories: the top five nationalities with the most appearances in the top 10 fastest times in butterfly swimming by distance each year and one group consisting of all other nationalities. In the event of a tie, the nationality with the most participants overall was selected. Generalized linear models (GLMs) with a gamma probability distribution and log link function were used to assess the effect of age groups and gender on swimming time. In summary, Germany had the fastest women butterfly master swimmers across all distances, while the USA had the fastest men butterfly master swimmers for all distances. Men covered all distances faster than women and younger swimmers were quicker than older swimmers. The results of this study can be utilized to determine the countries that produce the most successful master butterfly swimmers, providing a foundation for further research to explore the factors that lead to their success.
