Abstract

In the modern context, the relationship between the state and citizenship has undergone significant transformation in line with the developments of globalization, international mobility, and technological advancement. The state, as an entity with sovereignty, continues to adapt to the new dynamics emerging in its interactions with both its citizens and the international community. Citizenship, which was once considered a fixed status within a country, has become more complex, with phenomena such as dual citizenship, refugees, and increasing international migration becoming more common. This article explores the role of the state in regulating citizenship and the political, social, and economic rights that accompany it in an increasingly interconnected world. Additionally, it discusses the challenges faced by states in maintaining national identity, safeguarding sovereignty, and meeting the demands for more inclusive citizenship amid globalization and social change. With a multidisciplinary approach, this journal aims to provide insights into the evolution of citizenship from political, legal, and social perspectives in the modern context.
