istilah "kewarganegaraan" merujuk pada identitas antara seseorang dan kota, negara, atau bangsa dan haknya untuk bekerja, menetap, dan berpartisipasi secara politik di wilayah tertentu.
bila ditambah kata "global", istilah tersebut mendefinisikan seseorang yang mengutamakan identitas "masyarakat global" di atas identitasnya sebagai warga negara.
identitas seseorang sudah melintasi batas geografi atau politik dan tanggung jawab beserta haknya merupakan bukti keanggotaannya dalam "umat manusia".
ini bukan berarti orang tersebut menolak atau mencabut kebangsaannya atau identitas lokalnya.
identitas global merupakan "tempat kedua" dalam keanggotaannya di komunitas global.
