Contrasting a 'cosmopolitan vision' or'outlook' sharpened by awareness of the transformativeand transgressive impacts of globalization with the 'nationaloutlook' neurotically fixated on the familiar referencepoints of a world of nations-states-borders, sovereignty, exclusiveidentities-Beck shows how even opponents of globalization andcosmopolitanism are trapped by the logic of reflexive modernizationinto promoting the very processes they are opposing.
A persistent theme running through the book is the attempt torecover an authentically European tradition of cosmopolitanopenness to otherness and tolerance of difference. What Europeneeds, Beck argues, is the courage to unite forms of life whichhave grown out of language, skin colour, nationality or religionwith awareness that, in a radically insecure world, all are equaland everyone is different.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
