| Summary: | "Written by a leading expert, Cosmopolitanisms explains the meaning, scope and importance of cosmopolitanism in today's world. The books draws on historical and cross-cultural approach that provides the reader with a clear survey of major theoretical approaches and the evidence on which they are based. Offering a critical approach to these leading theories, including those associated with Ulrich Beck, it explores the challenges and limitations of this movement versus other approaches of globalization. Going beyond traditional Euro-centric visions and analyses, this text offers cutting-edge explorations of the cultural and personal, as well as the moral and legal, dimensions of cosmopolitanism."--Book cover. |
