This lecture explores the idea of citizenship and its historical changes. Citizenship has evolved beyond the modern boundaries of the democratic revolution, now encompassing broader social rights like ecology, peace, poverty, sustainability, welfare, and information rights. Moreover, future citizens, empowered by mobility technologies such as smartphones and social networks, will have enhanced citizenship, granting them new institutional powers. This will drive the reshaping of established social, political, and economic structures.
