Politics and Cosmopolitanism in a Global Age

‘This unusual volume brings together contributions by some of the most well-known intellectuals writing on the theme of cosmopolitanism into a tension-ridden conversation with perspectives that foreground different experiences from the global south.’ — Aditya Nigam, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, New Delhi, India

‘Re-inducting structure and agency into the debate on the nature and course of globalization, the authors highlight the hiatus between slogans of global justice and global realities and examine ways to bridge this gap through appropriate and urgent action. This elegantly written book should be a constant companion of all students of public policy and democracy in the global age.’ — Subrata K. Mitra, South Asia Institute, Heidelberg University, Germany
