Cosmopolitanism in Context: Perspectives from International Law and Political Theory
 |
| Anteprima |
Is
it possible and desirable to translate the basic principles underlying
cosmopolitanism as a moral standard into effective global institutions.
Will the ideals of inclusiveness and equal moral concern for all survive
the marriage between cosmopolitanism and institutional power? What are
the effects of such bureaucratisation of cosmopolitan ideals? This
volume examines the strained relationship between cosmopolitanism as a
moral standard and the legal institutions in which cosmopolitan norms
and principles are to be implemented. Five areas of global concern are
analysed: environmental protection, economic regulation, peace and
security, the fight against international crimes and migration.
