Summary
This chapter examines the implications of cosmopolitanism for the subfield of political sociology. Owing to its roots in ongoing debates on how globalization has altered power relations in the contemporary world, cosmopolitanism cuts across the subfield of political sociology in instructive ways. Though interdisciplinary in nature, cosmopolitan research contains important insights for the sociological study of politics at the global, national, and local levels (Archibugi 2003; Brown and Held 2010). While this chapter focuses on how cosmopolitanism contributes to our understanding of world citizenship, global governance, and human rights, it nonetheless points to the roles of states (in their foreign and domestic policies) and civil society actors, including social movement organizations (SMOs) and NGOs, in advancing (or blocking) cosmopolitan objectives.
