Description
Deen K. Chatterjee (ed.), Democracy in a Global World: Human Rights and Political Participation in the 21st Century (Lanham, Md.: Rowman & Littlefield, 2008), viii + 229 pp. 1. It has been over a decade since cosmopolitanism established itself as the dominant view in analytic political philosophy about world affairs. Liberal nationalists and John Rawls took issue with cosmopolitanism on a number of fronts, but they did little to dislodge the basic, compelling idea that political boundaries are not moral limits. Cosmopolitanism rose as the Berlin Wall fell and the idea took hold of a world without deep ideological disagreements that prevented cooperation. (1) But cosmopolitanism's full flowering required globalization, combined with the fundamental Rawlsian commitment, shared by most philosophical liberals, that the basic structure of society is the primary subject of justice. If there is a global basic structure, it follows that (moral) cosmopolitanism is true.
