What is Cosmopolitanism?

Ulrich Beck and Natan Sznaider in "Unpacking Cosmopolitanism for the Social Sciences: A Research Agenda"

The authors mostly explain what cosmopolitanism is not, rather than what is. Perhaps, in the 21st century when globalization is at its peak, it is better to focus on the transformation under way in the global order and the nation-states than trying to describe a concept.
