This Guest Editorial explores whether the concept of citizenship, which originated in the city and the nation-state, travels to the globe and what global citizenship could mean. Introducing a collection of related articles, we focus on social citizenship. We discuss conceptual issues, including modifications of T. H. Marshall's concept of social citizenship, and point at empirical evidence that global social citizenship is taking shape: International human rights have come to be interpreted as encapsulating social citizenship, and are part of multi-tiered social citizenship; ‘having rights’ is a meaningful expression in the global realm, including binding obligations of states under international human rights, negotiations in multiple sites or even ‘insurgent citizenship’ from below; institution building in the global South – social cash transfers for the poor, land rights or non-state welfare production in informal settings – is transforming European conceptions of ‘the social’. Global social citizenship materially underpins notions of cosmopolitan belonging and activism.
