The Allegiance Paradox

? Praise for The Allegiance Paradox ? "With clarity and power, Saviano presents citizenship as the moral bedrock of democracy — a thoughtful, reform-minded consideration that eschews simple political binaries. Not anti-immigrant but rather pro-citizen." — BookLife Review (a Publishers Weekly partner) The Allegiance Paradox delivers a groundbreaking examination of how American citizenship has shifted from a solemn civic commitment to an increasingly fragmented and transactional status. Through rigorous analysis spanning legal history, ethical philosophy, and contemporary geopolitics, the book reveals how the United States has drifted into a permissive model of citizenship — one that lacks clear standards of allegiance in an age of global mobility, dual nationality, and strategic competition. Inside, readers will discover: • How birth tourism and dual citizenship challenge traditional notions of loyalty. • Why digital identity and policy drift erode civic expectations. • Comparative lessons from other democracies that enforce allegiance more clearly. • A bold framework for restoring citizenship as a relationship of trust and responsibility. Timely, provocative, and unafraid to ask the hardest questions about loyalty, identity, and democracy in a fractured world, The Allegiance Paradox shows why democracy cannot survive on administrative convenience alone — it requires renewed allegiance to the common good. Book One of The Collapse of Trust series.
