Out now: springerin 3_02 "Cosmopolitics"

springerin 3_02 investigates the call for an emancipatory view of
"cosmopolitics" and a new concept of world citizenship, and explores
their repercussions within a globally extended contemporary culture.

There is a central opposition reflected in the wide conceptual range
of the term "cosmopolitics." On the one hand, it gathers together
hopes and projections aimed towards establishing "fundamentally
democratic" international cultural politics with a multi-cultural
reach. On the other, the "cosmopolitical" - in as far as it always
also has to do with politico-cultural supremacy - also comprises the
quest for power, and we are warned of global endeavours by the USA -
the last remaining world power - in this direction.

A close scrutiny of new, internationalist institutions purporting to
have a cosmopolitan outlook shows that "cosmopolitics," or its
strategic employment, is often also based on exclusions.
