Abstract

The inspiration for this chapter comes from a speech by European Commissioner for Trade Pascal Lamy in February 2001 entitled Harnessing Globalisation: Do We Need Cosmopolitics? Noting that the globalization debate lacks questions of politics, Lamy says that “conventional politics” does not capture the essence of the problem. Instead, Lamy proposes a better word — “cosmopolitics”. Referencing Immanuel Kant among other writers, Lamy avers that cosmopolitics is needed today to “organise and mediate between different interests” and to reflect public opinion. Improved global governance, he maintains, should be found in different international institutions “pulling on cosmopolitical constituencies for support”…
