This book addresses the complicated question of how markets and
consumption create the possibilities for cross-cultural exchanges
and the multicultural pleasures of omnivorous consumption, whilst
at the same time building new boundaries and distinctions, paving
the way for new exploitative relationships, and initiating novel
modes of status and capital accumulation. The contributors identify
that the divide between the economic and ethical dimensions of
globalisation has never seemed in sharper relief. With the workings
of global markets at odds with fostering cosmopolitan social
change, this collection addresses the question of whether we should
assume that market logics and consumptive practices conflict with
cosmopolitan agendas. It also explores whether the imperatives of
economic globalisation and individual consumption practices are
opposed to cosmopolitan prospects for global solidarities.
Cosmopolitanism, Markets and Consumption will be of interest to
students and scholars across a range of disciplines including in
the social sciences, businesses and marketing studies.
