OverviewMigration and cosmopolitanism are said to be complementary. Cosmopolitanism means to be a citizen of the world, and migration, without impediments, should be the natural starting point for a cosmopolitan view. However, the intensification of migration, through an increasing number of refugees and economic migrants, has generated anti-cosmopolitan stances. Using the concept of cosmopolitanism as it emerges from migrant protests like Sans Papiers, No One Is Illegal, and No Borders, an interdisciplinary group of scholars addresses this discrepancy and explores how migrant protest movements elicit a new form of radical cosmopolitanism. The combination of basic theoretical concepts and detailed empirical analysis in this book will advance the theoretical debate on the inherent cosmopolitan aspects of migrant activism. As such, it will be a valuable contribution to students, researchers and scholars of political science, sociology and philosophy.

""No One Is Illegal"": Law and The Possibilities for Radical Cosmopolitics [Elena Paris]Reviews'This volume brings a much needed contribution to cosmopolitanism in demonstrating how migrants through protest and resistance are re-drawing the boundaries of political community.' -Gerard Delanty, Professor of Sociology and Social & Political Thought, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK `Following the thread of migrants' movements and struggles this book gives a refreshing, radical, and new meaning to the notion of cosmopolitanism. While fences and walls proliferate around borders as well as within bounded spaces worldwide, the stubborn search for freedom of migrants invites us to politically reinvent and remake the world.
