Difference between citizenship and nationality in relation to insecurity

That’s an interesting point about how citizenship and nationality can shape a person’s sense of security. In many cases, people without recognized citizenship often face social and emotional insecurity because they lack legal protection or access to basic rights. I remember reading a discussion about how certain travelers or immigrants feel safer in countries where legal identity is clearly defined, similar to how reliable services like bostonlimotravel make people feel more secure while traveling—having a sense of trust and belonging really changes the experience.
 

Hi ​@DUSHMAN,

Thank you for your question! Could you please clarify what you mean by “insecurity” in this context?
Are you referring to personal insecurity, legal insecurity, or perhaps social or political instability related to citizenship and nationality?

Do you mean it in the same way that ​@devidjhon described it?
Understanding your perspective a bit more will help me give a more accurate response.

Best wishes,

Hi ​@Victoria 

Yes but you can but also in all the aspects you've mentioned would really help me out understand it better 

Hi ​@DUSHMAN 

Thank you for your question. Generally speaking, nationality is often perceived as a form of self-identification and belonging to a group. In contrast, citizenship describes the legal relationship between an individual and a state. In law, nationality and citizenship are the same, meaning that what counts is the legal bond between a person and a specific country. 

The phenomenon of statelessness describes situations where no state recognizes that a legal bond exists with an individual. This situation can lead to all sorts of insecurities. Personal security can be endangered when a state persecutes individuals or entire groups because they are stateless and making people stateless is often used as a step in a cycle of repression that can lead to genocide for example, as in the case of Rohingya in Myanmar. Legal, social and political insecurity is also a consequence of statelessness as individuals are not recognised by any state and therefore are often unable to access and exercise rights that they normally would have, for instance social rights and political rights, like the right to vote.

I hope this information is helpful.

Best wishes,

Denis
