Abstract 
The concept citizenship evolved in sociological thought
A case study of Libyan society
The research aims to review the evolution of the concept of citizenship in sociological thought, as it is a subject of debate about civil, political and social rights, which are the rights that give every individual in every society the status of a citizen, through conscious participation in an atmosphere of democracy.
The diagnosis of the Libyan reality in this research came from the period extending from the ottoman rule until the events of February 2011, to find out the political and social life, and its reflection on the spirit of citizenship in it, along with what the people saw during it in terms of movements against tyranny and a struggle for a life dominated by an atmosphere of democracy and sovereignty.
The research concluded: The link of citizenship with justice, equality and freedom. In recent years, citizenship has become one of the important topics related to the issue of identity and belonging. It is not possible to imagine a system that protects citizen rights outside the scope of democracy as a political system. The Libyan reality came to diagnose this relationship, that the liberal and republican models they conceived of citizenship based on their own beliefs, but they are complementary to each other. All discussions raised by thinkers about citizenship have given its dimensions a philosophical, legal, and political depth and clarity.
