Cosmopolitan theory suggests that we should shift our moral
attention from the local to the global. Richard Vernon argues,
however, that if we adopt cosmopolitan beliefs about justice we
must re-examine our beliefs about political obligation. Far from
undermining the demands of citizenship, cosmopolitanism implies
more demanding political obligations than theories of the state
have traditionally recognized. Using examples including
humanitarian intervention, international criminal law, and
international political economy, Vernon suggests we have a
responsibility not to enhance risks facing other societies and to
assist them when their own risk-taking has failed. The central
arguments in Cosmopolitan Regard are that what we owe to other
societies rests on the same basis as what we owe to our own, and
that a theory of cosmopolitanism must connect the responsibilities
of citizens beyond their own borders with their obligations to one
another.
