摘要：This paper analyzes the concept of citizenship and some of its implications in the context of current Western democracies. Starting from the premise that citizenship implies a certain relation to a State, we review some of the classic foundations of the concept, concluding that what matters is the variety of substantive rights that the State recognizes to its political subjects. The essence of citizenship is revealed by reviewing the portfolio of rights included in their legal status. The reflection starts from the present moment, taking into consideration that the power loss of the states reduces political and civil rights and causes disaffection towards traditional politics, creating new forms of political participation whose potentialities and risks are highlighted. Finally, we stress the need to generate power structures in which citizens have the opportunity to exercise their political rights and how that claim is linked to the cosmopolitan ideal of citizenship and to the presence of international institutions able to accommodate cultural diversity. We conclude by pointing out the role that ethical reflection plays in the recognition of minimum values which allow to achieve agreements that can result in universal rights.
