The idea of cosmopolitanism has informed some of the most important
developments in current sociology. It has changed the way in which
we think about a vast array of issues: the forces of globalisation,
the resurgence of nationalism, the future of political community in
Europe, the role of international law in social life, changing
forms of violence and even the life of the mind. This book explains
what cosmopolitanism is and why it has grabbed the sociological
imagination.
Robert Fine explores the concept of cosmopolitanism and its
application to contemporary issues:
- the future of Europe
- the role of human rights, global governance and perpetual peace
in the construction of a cosmopolitan order
- crimes against humanity
- the justification of humanitarian military interventions
- the extension of democracy beyond national limits.
This book offers an innovative mix of theoretical and
socio-political elements that will be of great interest to students
and researchers in the fields of international political theory,
international relations, social theory and cultural studies.
