Reviews

'It is difficult to imagine a more stimulating and valuable resource to scholars interested in cosmopolitanism. With an impressive list of contributors, the Companion to Cosmopolitanism tackles some of the most important political debates on the subject and sets the agenda for future research. This excellent volume encapsulates the possibilities, challenges, and criticisms involved in cosmopolitan thinking.' Catarina Kinnvall, Lund University, Sweden 'This is a thick volume, and Rovisco and Nowicka have been well served by The Ashgate Research Companion series whose production values are high. The 23 chapters examine cosmopolitanism in connexion with topics including: cities, borders, consumption, capabilities, memory, feminism, globalisation, mega-events, diaspora and postcolonialism. There is a timeliness to their volume... The Ashgate volume surely demonstrates the fecundity of cosmopolitanism as a theme and the liveliness of current debates surrounding it. If the 'cosmopolitical' is a global material condition, then, according to Pheng Cheah (p. 211), we are yet to generate a mass-based cosmopolitan consciousness. This volume helps towards what is yet to be achieved.' International Journal of Cultural Policy
