Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the characteristics of the concept of citizenship and the transformations it faces in the contemporary world, based on the innovative vision of Andreas Niederberger. In its first part, the text presents the central characteristics of citizenship in the traditional view, pointing out its importance for politics and its relation with the ideas of representation and social inequality based on classic authors for the theme. Next, the article points out the major challenges faced by the concept in the contemporary world and the main solutions raised for such challenges. At this point, the article analyzes the implications for the concept of citizenship of phenomena such as the creation of transnational private normative orders, temporary work in a given territory, the domination of finance capital and the international migrations. Finally, the text exposes the solution defended by Niederberger, who develops his vision of citizenship based on the idea of “citizenship-constellation”, arguing that the concept is capable of maintaining its usefulness in a world composed of plural normative orders.
