Though creating identity and belongingness under the sovereign requires an enclosure by boundaries, the very act of drawing boundaries imposes inevitable challenges. The limitations of the Westphalian system based on territorial boundaries are becoming more tangible with transnational flows threatening individual s sense of belonging and the state s exercise of sovereignty. Global citizenship is suggested today as a possible solution transcending the arbitrarily drawn national boundaries. However, my political theological examination concludes that global citizenship is yet another translation of the human beings old wish for belonging to, protection from, and unity under a god albeit with new boundaries that differentiate us from them.
