Cosmopolitanism in the Age of Globalization: Citizens without States

by Lee Trepanier (Editor), Khalil M. Habib (Editor)

Overview

Thanks to advances in international communication and travel, it has never been easier to connect with the rest of the world. As philosophers debate the consequences of globalization, cosmopolitanism promises to create a stronger global community. Cosmopolitanism in the Age of Globalization examines this philosophy from numerous perspectives to offer a comprehensive evaluation of its theory and practice. Bringing together the works of political scientists, philosophers, historians, and economists, the work applies an interdisciplinary approach to the study of cosmopolitanism that illuminates its long and varied history. This diverse framework provides a thoughtful analysis of the claims of cosmopolitanism and introduces many overlooked theorists and ideas. This volume is a timely addition to sociopolitical theory, exploring the philosophical consequences of cosmopolitanism in today's global interactions.

Editorial Reviews

"The range of thinkers this volume covers is extremely helpful for any scholar interested in cosmopolitanism. The volume is expansive temporally, culturally, thematically, and methodologically."—Richard Avramenko, University of Wisconsin-Madison
