The course discusses the pertinence or not of cosmopolitan thought to analysis of world politics. Born from a moral dis-course pitched against the power politics of empire (Greek stoicism), cosmopolitanism is today defined by a moral and legal culture of human rights and an ethical and political culture of global values and/or goods. Contemporary proponents and critics of cosmopolitanism are analyzed in this context.
