Citizenship is a relatively modern term in the world of politics, despite its early indications dating back to the days of Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle when they discussed the concept of citizenship in Athens. The theorization of citizenship began around the middle of the last century, and it has become a key term in political science and history in the past decade of the same century.
Political concepts are characterized by multiple definitions and descriptions. Therefore, we can define citizenship as “a social movement within a legal framework that ensures equality in rights and duties among the inhabitants of a particular region, a social framework that guarantees non-discrimination of one category of the population against another, and a political framework that guarantees the enforcement of both the legal and social frameworks.”
