Citizenship Studies

Citizenship is the status of a person recognized under the custom or law as being a legal member of a sovereign state or belonging to a nation.A person may have multiple citizenships. A person who does not have citizenship of any state is said to be stateless, while one who lives on state borders whose territorial status is uncertain is a border-lander.[1]Nationality is often used as a synonym for citizenship in English[2] – notably in international law – although the term is sometimes understood as denoting a person's membership of a nation (a large ethnic group).[3] In some countries, e.g. the United States, the United Kingdom, nationality and citizenship can have different meanings (for more information, see Nationality versus citizenship).
