Overview

This book explores cosmopolitanism's radical dynamic as expressed in the struggles from below, all over the world, against exclusion and domination, pointing to the horizon of another world that appears possible. It shows that cosmopolitanism emerges negatively through disaffiliation from the given forms of belonging and by questioning of the existing meanings and unjust practices. Through a radical critique, cosmopolitanism goes to the roots of the existing world order based on the nation-state, exposes its exclusionary structure, and brings instead the idea of a World Republic where No One Is Illegal and where all are equal citizens of the world.

"This is an innovative intervention, setting out a cosmopolitics of dissent grounded in the thought of the ancient Cynics and of figures such as Jan Patoĉka and V�clav Havel. It is required reading for those who wish to reconcile the local and global and to think seriously about institutionalizing cosmopolitanism. -- ""Alexander Sager, Portland State University"""
