supranational citizenship

Supranational citizenship refers to a type of identity and legal status that extends beyond individual nations, recognized within a collective body like the European Union. It grants individuals certain rights and privileges across member states, such as free movement and voting in some collective institutions, regardless of their national citizenship. This concept fosters a sense of belonging to a broader community, promoting cooperation and integration among participating countries. While it doesn't replace national citizenship, it adds an overarching layer of participation and rights within the supranational entity, emphasizing shared interests and collective governance.
