Cosmopolitanism as Evolutionary Advantage: Can Political Equality Be Globalized?

Abstract

Considering both ends of the history of the modern state, this chapter argues for a paradigmatic shift regarding the theory of the modern state. My thesis is that the nation-state is a borderline case of statehood, a very specific historical case that is by no means the perfect form of the state, or the telos of three thousand years’ of state evolution.

I must thank Chris Engert for his sensitive work on large parts of the text and the “translation” of my poor German-English into English-English.
