Cosmopolitics: Thinking and Feeling beyond the Nation

Abstract: 

As nationalism and the nation-state have recently come under siege, a resurgent cosmopolitanism has emerged as a viable and alternative political project. In Cosmopolitics, a renowned group of scholars and political theorists offers the first sustained examination of that project, its inclusive and often universalist claims, and its tangled and sometimes volatile relationship to nationalism.
