Summary

This book outlines a Kantian form of cosmopolitan theory in relation to the requirements for a constitutional global order. In addition it provides a comprehensive defence of cosmopolitan ethics against realist pluralist and communitarian critiques. Author's short blurb: The world has become increasingly interconnected where actions in one part of the world can have profound effects everywhere. If humans are to successfully coexist then it is essential that we begin to theorize about what regulative legal principles could secure a condition of mutually beneficial cohabitation. The purpose of this book is to explore the normative and legal requirements necessary for a Kantian based cosmopolitan constitution and to argue its relevance in understanding and resolving current global concerns.--, Provided by publisher
