“I’m not aware of what it means. There is certainly a concept that we are a global community. There is a concept that each citizen much conduct himself in a manner in which his country is seen as a country to be a good global citizen. But in my view if you don’t have global taxation you don’t have global citizenship. So the argument that there is global citizenship is an exaggerated claim. You can only be citizen of one government, so if you ever had global citizenship then everybody would be a citizen… the question is whether he would be a good citizen or a bad citizen.
Ultimately individuals are citizens of the country they belong to. There may be global values, universal values but each citizen must operate in the confines of the country he or she is a citizen of.”
