The ethics of hospitality ? the welcome of the foreigner ? is
implied in all moral debate in international relations ranging from
questions of asylum to those of humanitarian intervention. Why then
has there been so little reflection on hospitality in the study of
international relations to date?
Seeking to correct this striking omission, and making an
important and original contribution to debates about ethics in
international relations in the process, Baker outlines a theory of
cosmopolitanism as hospitality which goes beyond existing
cosmopolitanisms. He argues that we must understand cosmopolitanism
not as the pursuit of a world in which there are no more foreigners
but as the welcome of the foreigner. However, though hospitality
calls for a welcome, there is always a decision on the welcome to
be made. Cosmopolitanism as hospitality is therefore always as much
a politics as it is an ethics.
Addressing issues of central concern for those who seek to
understand our obligations to strangers, this book will be of
interest to students and scholars of international relations,
security studies, ethics, and political and international
theory.
