Abstract

This chapter explores the interconnection between global constitutionalism and cosmopolitan thought, suggesting that global constitutionalism is a form of legal cosmopolitanism and that it would behove both cosmopolitans and global constitutionalists to make better and more explicit links between the traditions. The chapter examines four intersections: Kantian-based legal cosmopolitanism and minimal or pluralist global constitutionalism; cosmopolitan democracy, inclusive global governance and a united commitment to a cosmopolitical order; world state cosmopolitanism and constitutional authority, and: globalization, cultural cosmopolitanism and theories of global constitutionalisation. Lastly, the chapter discusses the idea that existing state-based constitutionalism already renders the modern state a cosmopolitan entity and that this form of existing cosmopolitan constitutionalism buttresses enthusiasm for viability of a more meaningful global constitution.
