The world is becoming deeply interconnected, whereby actions in one
part of the world can have profound repercussions elsewhere. In a
world of overlapping communities of fate, there has been a renewed
enthusiasm for thinking about what it is that human beings have in
common, and to explore the ethical basis of this. This has led to a
renewed interest in examining the normative principles that might
underpin efforts to resolve global collective action problems and
to ameliorate serious global risks. This project can be referred to
as the project of cosmopolitanism.
In response to this renewed cosmopolitan enthusiasm, this volume
has brought together 25 seminal essays in the development of
cosmopolitan thought by some of the world's most distinguished
cosmopolitan thinkers and critics. It is divided into six sections:
classical cosmopolitanism, global justice, culture and
cosmopolitanism, political cosmopolitanism, cosmopolitan global
governance and critical examinations. This volume thus provides a
thorough and extensive introduction to contemporary cosmopolitan
thought and acts as a definitive source for those interested in
cosmopolitan thinking and its critics.

Realities."
