Citizenship is one of the fundamental phenomena that have been challenged by the phase of globalization. In a world in which people have to constantly be moving across borders as a fact of life, membership of a nation-state can no longer count as the basis of citizenship. Thus, in regard to global citizenship, there are three approaches: The Statist approach argues that citizenship has been controlled by the sovereign state and it is utopian to suppose that it can be coupled with different political arrangements. The Kantian approach maintains that individuals have ethical obligations to the rest of the human race that can overrule their obligations to fellow citizens. The Dialogic approach attempts to create new communities of discourse which bring the whole of humanity together as co-legislators in a universal domain of ends. In this paper we will elaborate on these approaches towards global citizenship concluding that the EU can serve as a good example of the third approach that may be broadened to the other parts of the world.
