From globalization to cosmopolitanism, is the consequence good ? (1)

Globalization of risks, global capitalism, standardization of experience, the information society: so many contemporary signs that seem to associate globalization with the need for cosmopolitanism. If the world is establishing itself as a legitimate political space, it's because, for the first time in history, it has become a shared reality. But can we conclude from the "cosmopolitization of experience" (Ulrich Beck) to legal cosmopolitanism? Paradoxically, the cosmopolitical utopia has been exhausted by its partial realization: we have all become, albeit involuntarily, "citizens of the world". What are we to make of these processes which, at the same time as they seem to make a global policy necessary, weaken the juridical requirement inherent in cosmopolitanism? We will try to show that the global is not yet the world, and that a cosmopolitical democracy cannot be the simple logical consequence of globalization.
