Summary/Abstract: Processes of globalization and urbanization, international migration and free movement of people put the theory of citizenship in an entirely new context. This new context changed the content of citizenship; provoked new thoughts of the body of concept; opened new analytical terrain. Many analysts develop theories of new forms of citizenship. This text presents such conceptualization – that of a global citizenship. The analysis goes beyond formally specified limits, rights and obligations of citizenship. Its representatives are mobile people, and key features are the civilactivism and self-reflection.
