In her pre-doctoral fellowship, Mira worked on the instrumentalisation of citizenship with a special emphasis on the worldwide sale of citizenship, so-called Citizenship-by-Investment Programmes. She conducted an empirical-comparative study on the global trends and determinants of these Citizenship-by-Investment programmes. Mira is thus well trained in comparative citizenship studies and both quantitative and qualitative research methods.
