Since the end of the Cold War, there has been a wealth of
discussion and controversy about the idea of a 'postnational' or
'cosmopolitan' politics. But while there are many normative
theories of cosmopolitanism, as well as some cosmopolitan theories
of globalization, there has been little attempt to grapple
systematically with fundamental questions of structure and action
from a 'cosmopolitan point of view.' Drawing on Kant's cosmopolitan
writings and Habermas's critical theory of society, Brian Milstein
argues that, before we are members of nations or states, we are
participants in a 'commercium' of global interaction who are able
to negotiate for ourselves the terms on which we share the earth in
common with one another. He marshals a broad range of literature
from philosophy, sociology, and political science to show how the
modern system of sovereign nation-states destructively constrains
and distorts these relations of global interaction, leading to
pathologies and crises in present-day world society.
