Cosmopolitics and the Emergence of a Future - by D Morgan & G Banham (Hardcover)

About the Book

This volume provides an inter-disciplinary encounter with the question of "cosmopolitics"--the notion of a global community and the concomitant problems which the notion carries--contributing to a debate that crosses a number of borders and disciplines.

Book Synopsis

In 1795 Immanuel Kant proclaimed that humans had entered into a 'universal community'. Since then, connections have grown ever more pronounced, with the notion of 'cosmopolitics' defining the modern age. This interdisciplinary volume makes a timely contribution to debates on international law, global ecology and economy and transnational synergies.
