Cosmopolitanism Reader

"Truly a reader's reader. Compared with other books of its type, it is unusually comprehensive, systematic and digestible."
Survival
 
"An excellent centrepiece for a graduate course on cosmopolitan thought and an excellent reference for graduate or undergraduate students seeking a single volume that draws together historical and contemporary cosmopolitan thought."
Central European Journal of International and Security Studies
"If you want to understand cosmopolitanism - and you should - this volume is the place to go. Brown and Held have brought together the most important contributions to understanding (and assessing) cosmopolitanism as a philosophical ideal, a political project, and a practical program. It is a great collection on an important topic."
Joshua Cohen, Stanford University
 
"Two distinguished scholars have assembled a remarkable collection of essays, classical and contemporary, that challenge us all to think through what it would mean for politics, culture and economy if the world were truly one and each individual was given his or her due regard as a citizen of the globe."
Michael Doyle, Columbia University
