Abstract
Purpose: The aim of the current research is the conceptualization of the global citizen in the path of moving towards global rights. 
Matherials and Methods: The research method used in this article is descriptive-analytical.
Findings: Globalization is a natural phenomenon that took place seriously after the Second World War and due to the emergence and development of international organizations such as the United Nations, decolonization and the role of newly independent countries, the development of the global economy and communications, and the emergence of new international actors such as companies. Transnational and non-governmental organizations have accelerated, and of course the development of information and communication technology as a hardware infrastructure. This phenomenon has affected many fields including economy, culture, politics and citizenship rights. The discussion of citizenship, depending on its placement in social dimensions, has gone through various periods of various historical developments, somehow in each of these periods, the relations of its constituent elements have been changing and different. 
Conclusion: The results of the research show that today, affected by the process of globalization, the concept of citizenship has undergone a transformation in parallel with the emergence of the global civil society. This process has provided the ground for the formation of a global citizen, through which individuals play a role beyond the political realm of national communities, regardless of their identity as citizens of specific governments. Based on this idea, a combination of advanced systems, the growth of global markets and the wide field of action of multinational companies are continuously eroding the boundaries that defined social membership in the past, so that the material and psychological boundaries that made citizenship important in modernity Made pale.
