Cosmopolitanism (Key Ideas)
Robert Fine - Cosmopolitanism
(Routledge Key Ideas)
Routledge | ISBN: 978 0415392259 | 20/12/2007 | English | 176 pages | PDF | 1.3 MB
The idea of cosmopolitanism has informed some of the most important developments in current sociology. It has changed the way in which we think about a vast array of issues: the forces of globalisation, the resurgence of nationalism, the future of political community in Europe, the role of international law in social life, changing forms of violence and even the life of the mind. This book explains what cosmopolitanism is and why it has grabbed the sociological imagination.
Robert Fine explores the concept of cosmopolitanism and its application to contemporary issues:
* the future of Europe
* the role of human rights, global governance and perpetual peace in the construction of a cosmopolitan order
* crimes against humanity
* the justification of humanitarian military interventions
* the extension of democracy beyond national limits.
This book offers an innovative mix of theoretical and socio-political elements that will be of great interest to students and researchers in the fields of international political theory, international relations, social theory and cultural studies.

Culture (Routledge Key Ideas)
Chris Jenks - Culture
(Routledge Key Ideas)
Routledge | ISBN: 978 0415072786 | 08/12/1993 | English | 196 pages | PDF | 1 MB
Although a fashionable term, "culture" has nevertheless remained an ill-defined one. In this book, Chris Jenks attempts to further define this daunting subject, examining this concept in the context of both idealism and materialism, determining its relationship to the notion of social structure, and assessing its former dominance within literary studies. Jenks discusses concepts of cultural polarization (high vs. low) and cultural reproduction as well as culture in relation to postmodernism.
Reviews
Jenks gives us a marvellously clear overview of where we have been going in cultural studies. - John ONeill, York University, Toronto, Canada
Praise for the previous edition:
A very good book - jam-packed with clear, erudite and insightful discussions of the history and varying usages and meanings of the concept of culture. It is a well balanced and well written text. - Eric Dunning, Leicester University, UK
About the Author
Chris Jenks is Senior Lecturer in Sociology and Head of the Department of Sociology, Goldsmith's College, University of London.
