In broad usage, the term
global citizenship or
world citizenship typically defines a person who places their identity with a "global community" above their identity as a citizen of a particular nation or place. The idea is that one’s identity transcends geography or political borders and that the planetary human community is interdependent and whole; humankind is essentially one. The term has been used in
education and
political philosophy and has enjoyed popular use in social movements such as the "World Citizen" movement and the
Mondialisation movement.
