The concept of citizenship stands as one of the most astute political constructs ever developed. Its function is to respond to the human need for belonging and a sense of identity. The understanding of citizenship has evolved throughout history. In earlier epochs, it was closely tied to the ethnic affiliation (bonded by ethnic traits), underscoring lineage and blood ties. Subsequently, it transitioned towards emphasizing the link with one’s territory of residence (bonded by shared territory), culminating in the models that inform our current systems. Nevertheless, there has always been another latent form linked to the shared ideology or religion (bonded by ideology). This suggests alternative models to the classic nation-state-border paradigm and points to a notion that is as necessary as it is novel: the possibility of global citizenship.
