摘要：Perhaps as never before in recent years the issue of European citizenship has been the focus of attention of national and EU authorities. The problem regards not only the functioning of the higher-level institutions. Nor does it concern only the question of the still persistent diversity of the “local” juridical systems on the matter, for instance, of granting citizenship status to migrants from other Member Countries or from territories outside the EU borders. What is being discussed, despite the fact that those aspects are an integral part of the picture, is whether it is now possible to identify a basically “shared” sense of membership by the different populations in a larger collectivity than the decentralized ones in which they live. Obviously, the question is very complex and raises many questions. Is it correct, for example, to talk in generic terms of a “sense of membership” without distinguishing the many motivations on which it is based? Moreover, given that it is possible to make these clarifications, what does it mean to speak in an equally absolute way of a sense of shared citizenship by entire populations? Social groups and categories are extremely diversified by financial, professional, generational, gender and territorial circumstances. Therefore they have different conceptions of the broader collectivity and are bearers among themselves of very heterogeneous senses of identification.
