Opis

This book develops a ‘contestatory’ alternative to the standard cosmopolitan approach to global politics. Rather than invoking a sense of global community, abstracted from the particular and the conflictual, this ‘contestatory’ alternative roots cosmopolitanism in the particularity and conflict of global politics itself, and thus promises contingent, grounded and dynamic responses to global political challenges.

This collection was originally published as a special edition of Critical Horizons.
