David Held is Graham Wallace Professor of Political Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science."A cohesive, articulate and powerful plea in favour of a deep transformation of the world order."<br /><i><b>Survival</b></i> <p>A comprehensive study of the phenomenon, illustrated by well-chosen examples."<br /><i><b>Political Studies Review</b></i></p> <p>"Held articulates a number of feasible reforms, sustained by universal ethical and political commitments, that can be undertaken to address specifically global problems. His deft and clear-eyed rendering of the changing trajectory of cosmopolitan thought makes this book an informative introduction to the topic."<br /> <i><b>Choice</b></i></p> <p>"David Held formulates a robust cosmopolitanism and imaginatively applies it to the great faults of our international order: its lack of effective environmental-protection, peacekeeping, and global-finance regimes. The pragmatic reforms he envisions would undoubtedly make our world more democratic and just."<br /><b>Thomas Pogge, Yale University</b></p> <p>"David Held's new book gives the lie to those who regard cosmopolitanism as a vague set of indeterminate woolly ideals. This is as grounded and as comprehensive an account of the cosmopolitan agenda as one could wish for."<br /><b>Jeremy Waldron, New York University Law School </b></p> <p>"In a world beset by financial crisis, nuclear proliferation and climate change, our capacity for international co-operation and solidarity has rarely seemed so inadequate, or the need for them more urgent. In this book, David Held provides a powerful and persuasive analysis of this paradox of our times, and how cosmopolitan principles offer a way to overcome it."<br /><b>Andrew Gamble, University of </b><b>Cambridge </b></p> <p>"National realpolitik is dead, long live cosmopolitan realpolitik! David Held's robust development and defence of cosmopolitanism provides a masterful framework for the urgent reorientation required - both political and cognitive - by an unevenly interconnected world."<br /><b>Ulrich Beck, University of Munich</b></p>
