The tasks and responsibilities of an individual are considered with respect to the conditions of today's changing world and they are being tried to be formed in the direction of political, economic, social, and technical developments that have been experienced during the last quarter of 20th century. The concepts of active and global citizenship can be ranked between those elements. It must be taken into account that since each of those concepts has an historic background and they belong to the western civilization then they have some common characteristics as well as they differ with some points. It is aimed with this study to reveal the common points and differences of those two concepts with respect to the individualism, membership/belonging/identity, and participation. As a result of literature survey, it is observed that active and global citizenship concepts have a common intellectual idea with respect to the individualism and participation. On the other hand, it is also concluded that when the development period of those concepts are taken into account, they differ with each other with respect to the belonging/identity.
