The article explores the relationship between social citizenship and identity in Europe. It argues that a measure of shared identity is necessary in order to sustain the architecture of solidarity beyond national boundaries which European citizenship pushes for. While several factors hamper the ripening of a full European identity, European social citizenship can rest on a novel notion of shared belonging, the essence of which is in the fact of living in a community where national borders have become porous and national spaces have to some extent become interconnected.

Abstract
The article explores the relationship between social citizenship and identity in Europe. It argues that a measure of shared identity is necessary in order to sustain the architecture of solidarity beyond national boundaries which European citizenship pushes for. While several factors hamper the ripening of a full European identity, European social citizenship can rest on a novel notion of shared belonging, the essence of which is in the fact of living in a community where national borders have become porous and national spaces have to some extent become interconnected.
