Abstract

The tradition of cosmopolitan thought is based on the consideration that there is a universal political community, a common space for coexistence that globalization has reinforced and has made more clearly perceptible. Within this space, public and private agents converge, whose dynamics and correlation of forces are subjecting to significant tensions that which can be conceived as the common beyond the State, often putting it at the service of private interests and affecting its adequate care and protection. A reality that, for cosmopolitanism, would demand greater levels of transnational democratic governance and the progressive construction of a global demos on which to base this governance. This article analyzes how various theoretical elements on which the tradition of republican thought is based can be useful for the strengthening and advancement of cosmopolitan proposals.
