Invigorating and timely, this book provides a thorough overview of
the geographies of cosmopolitanism, an ethical and political
philosophy that views humanity as one community. Barney Warf charts
the origins and developments of this line of thought, exploring how
it has changed over time, acquiring many variations along the way.
Offering a comprehensive account of the theory and practice of
cosmopolitanism at multiple spatial scales, chapters note how and
why cosmopolitans reject the nation-state and nationalism and view
borders as artificial. The book addresses the intersections between
cosmopolitanism and geography, including care-giving and relational
space. It examines key contemporary issues, including
globalization, negotiating the post-Westphalian political order,
the United Nations, global citizenship, immigration, refugees and
sanctuary cities. Particular focus is also given to cosmopolitanism
in everyday life, including education, tourism, consumption and
veganism. Analysing cosmopolitanism in an interdisciplinary manner,
Geographies of Cosmopolitanism will be an interesting read for
sociology, human geography and political science scholars. It will
also appeal to philosophy and social science students more broadly
who are keen to understand this approach to social justice and
human rights.
