We first present a framework for the conceptualization of global citizenship, drawing on an interdisciplinary body of literature on globalization, cosmopolitanism, political theory, media literacy and civic engagement. We then operationalize some of these questions into a research agenda and a survey questionnaire. We also present the findings of a pilot survey (n=1,214 students) carried out across 10 countries in five continents (Africa, North and South America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East). We identify tentative patterns that are worth exploring further, including a divide between participants in Western liberal democracies, who feel more removed from globalization, and those in the Global South, who demonstrate greater levels of engagement, responsibility and efficacy.}, number={Special Issue}, journal={Observatorio (OBS*)}, author={Gerodimos, Roman and Balbin, Cecilia and Chan, Connie and Freundt-Thurne, Ursula and Gutiérrez Atala, Fernando José and Nyaole-Kowuor, Rosemary and Melki, Jad}, year={2022}, month={Nov.} }
