| Summary |
The volume provides empirical research to show how people actually embrace cosmopolitan ideas and attitudes. It studies 'cosmopolitanism in practice', looking at the social and institutional environments in which cosmopolitanism shapes everyday life experiences and identities.

Their research draws on a variety of intellectual disciplines, international contexts and methodological traditions from a range of local/global sites. |
