This article surveys the evolution of the field of citizenship and democracy beyond the stages identified by T.H. Marshall, through globalization and the weakening of the welfare function of the nation-state. Globalization has led to two distinct issue areas: the rise of identity claims as part of democratic demands and the regulation of human rights by supranational institutions.
