Overview
Written by a leading expert in the field, Cosmopolitanisms explains the meaning, scope and importance of cosmopolitanism in today’s world. The book draws on an 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 globalisation. 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.
With concise explanations of different types of cosmopolitanism and clear guidance through existing literature in the area, this forward-thinking text explains key issues within the wider contexts of globalization. Robert J. Holton’s accessible writing style and easy-to-follow arguments will give a solid and comprehensive understanding of cosmopolitanism for all students of sociology, globalization and politics.
