Cosmopolitan Citizenship

This is a discussion and analysis of the meaning and scope of citizenship. It examines the concept of citizenship in the light of normative ethical and political arguments as to the possible costs and benefits to political order, community, rights and participation of opting either for a "cosmopolitan" or a "bounded" citizenship ideal. As well as putting the concept of cosmopolitan citizenship into question, this book raises fundamental issues as to the adequacy of the current conceptual resources of political and international theory. This work is intended for departments of politics (courses in political theory, comparative politics, political studies, international relations), philosophy (political philosophy, ethics), and law (international law).
