The construction of an increasinglyintegratedworldhasweakenedanoldernotionofnation-statesasinsularpolitieswithaculturallyhomogenouscitizenryby shifting the locusofauthorityaboveandbelow the state, aprocesssometimes called“glocalization” (Robertson, 1992). Supra-nationally, thesepressures cultivatea common, cosmopolitan frame of reference among individuals as agentic equals possessinginherenthumanrights.Sub-nationally,theyfostertheidentitiesandequalityofdiversegroupsinsociety.Despitewidespreadrecognitionofthesetrends,muchsocialscienceresearchexhibitsamethodologicalnationalismthatprecludesresearchersfromexaminingtheeffectsoftheseglobalphenomena(Beck&Sznaider,2006).Incontrast,acosmopolitanlensenablestheexplorationofchangesincitizenshipeducationworldwide.

Onone level all cosmopolitan approaches are similar in that they encourage thevisionof aninterconnectedsocietyandculturethatisunboundedbythepoliticalterritoryofthenation-state,leading to analyses that consider influences and changes that go beyond national borders.Acentralcomponentofcosmopolitanismisuniversalism,traditionallyrepresentedbythenotionofworldcitizenship.Indeed,theword‘cosmopolitan’itselfcomesfromtheclassicalGreek‘kosmoupolitês’meaning a ‘citizen of theworld’. The ideals of world citizenship remained a centraltenetof cosmopolitanism through theEnlightenment,mostnotably in theworkof ImmanuelKant.Contemporarycosmopolitanthinkinghasexpandednotionsofuniversalismfromworldcitizenshiptoincludethemodernconceptionofhumanrights,aninherentlyuniversalnotion.Pogge(2008),forexample,outlinesacontemporaryviewofcosmopolitanmorality“formulatedintermsofhumanrights”(p.176,emphasisinoriginal),meaningthatit“centersonthefundamentalneedsandinterestsofindividualhumanbeings,andofallhumanbeings”(p.184,emphasisinoriginal).Similarly,Levy&Sznaider (2004)describe“the recentproliferationofhumanrightsideasasanewformofcosmopolitanism”(p.143).Inthesamevein,Beetham(1999)outlinesaproposalofhumanrightsasamodelforcosmopolitandemocracy.

Inadditionto incorporatingthe ideasofhumanrights,manycontemporary interpretationsofcosmopolitanism explicitly emphasize the potentially homogenizing force of universalism asemerginghand-in-handwiththecelebrationofdiversity.Inotherwords,cosmopolitanism“meansnotareplicationofuniformitybutanorganizationofdiversity,anincreasinginterconnectednessofvariedlocalcultures”(Hannerz,1996,p.102).Thus,beingacosmopolitaninvolveswillingnessto tolerate, celebrate, engage openly with, and even seek out diverse social and culturalexperiences(Levy&Sznaider,2004;Hollinger,1995;Delanty,2006a,2006b;Pollocketal,2000).Appiah(1997)extendsthisincorporationofdiversitytoincludeattachmenttothenation-statethrougha‘cosmopolitanpatriotism’or‘rootedcosmopolitanism’.Othersacceptdiversityfromsocialorculturalsourceslikegenderorethnicity,butconceptualizecosmopolitanismlargelyasanalternativetothepoliticalidentitiesassociatedwithnationalpatriotism(Nussbaum,1994).

Althoughemergingtogether,thedualtrendsofuniversalismanddiversitycancomeintoconflict.Cosmopolitan theories share the challenge of addressing whether universalism is benign,beneficial,oraformofhegemony,andhowtobalanceuniversalprincipleswiththeempowermentofdiversegroupsinsociety(SeeBreckenridgeetal.,2002foranin-depthdiscussion).Acommonclashoccurswhentheinterestsofcorporatesocialgroups,suchasindigenousgroupsbutalsoincluding nation-states, place obligations on members that possibly contradict the universalprinciplesofhumanrightsorlimitindividualfreedoms.Manyscholarsaddressthistensionbycelebratingaspecificformofdiversity,onerootedinindividualchoice,tolerance,andvoluntary

Insum,contemporarycosmopolitanismincludestwomainemphases,universalism,intheformofglobalcitizenshipandhumanrights,anddiversity,intheformofcelebratingheterogeneoussocialgroupsandpromotingequalrightsfordivergentgroups.Amountingbodyofevidencesuggeststhat conceptually andpractically, notions of the nation-state as a territorially boundedpolitygoverningahomogenouscitizenrywithacommonculturearegivingwaytothiscosmopolitanmodel.Forexample,Sassen(2006)arguesthatnotionsofauthorityandrights,onceconstructedasterritoriallyboundedtothenation-state,areincreasinglydenationalized.Similarly,Fligstein(2008) focuses on the emergence of a transnational identity in the European sphere. LookingbeyondEurope,muchrecentscholarshipshowsthatuniversalhumanrightsareontheriseasacorecomponentofcontemporaryworldculture (Keck&Sikkink,1998;Ramirezetal.,2006;Elliott,2007).Otherworldcultural studiesshowtheempowermentofdiversegroupssuchasindigenouspeoples(Cole,2005),women(Wotipka&Ramirez,2008),andchildren(Boyleetal.,2007)overtime.

These de-nationalized, cosmopolitan trends are also reflected in civic education.Meyer et al(forthcoming)findadramaticincreaseinhumanrightsemphasesinciviceducationacrossmanycountries over time. Using cross-sectional data from 28mainly European countries,Mintrop(2003)showsthatthereisanewfacetociviceducationthatemphasizessocialmovements,rightsdiscourse,andcriticalthinking.Similarly,Levinson(2004)tracestheriseofanewformofciviceducation inMexico designed to democratically empower students through student-centeredpedagogy.InCostaRicaandArgentina,Suárez(2008)describestheriseofglobalhumanrightsasacentralfeatureofnationalciviceducation.

Whileimportantintheirownright,themajorityofthesestudiesarelimitedeitherbytheirfocusonparticularcountriesorregions,ortheyconsideronlyasingletimepoint.Thosethathaveglobalscopeexamineareasoutsideeducationoronlypartiallyconsidertherangeoftopicsassociatedwithcosmopolitanism.Forinstance,Meyeretal.(forthcoming)looksonlyathumanrights,ratherthanexaminingworldcitizenship,humanrights,anddiversity.Thus,thequestionremainsastohowfartheshifttowardsacosmopolitanworldviewplaysoutincitizenshipeducationaroundtheworld,particularlygiven thatmass schooling is stillmostlyunder the controlofnationalgovernments.

Althoughcosmopolitantheoriestendtoshareafocusonincreasinguniversalismanddiversityworldwide, scholars diverge dramatically in their analysis of the mechanisms that createglobal interconnectedness, and the implications of the emergence of a global society. Mostcosmopolitanismsoperatesunderastrongnormativeframework,arguingthattheconstructionofaworldcommunity,andevenaworldstate,isthemostmoralandjustgovernanceoutcome.BeckandSznaiderargue“Whatcosmopolitanismiscannotultimatelybeseparatedfromwhatcosmopolitanismshouldbe.”(2006,p.4).Historically,thecosmopolitanismofancientphilosophersandmoremodernpoliticalphilosopherslikeImmanuelKantwasfocusedonautopianfuture,concernedwithcreatingworldcitizenshipandaworld republic.Recently,normativepoliticalphilosophers, notablyDavidHeld, have revived the notion of cosmopolitanism to championthe values of human rights anddemocracy as general principles of transnational governanceto copewith negative effects of economic globalization (Held, 1995; 2004). This line ofworkarguesthattheemergenceofaworldsociety,worldcultureandevenaworldgovernmentisapositivedevelopmentforall.Thus,theemergenceofcosmopolitanismincitizenshipeducationisinterpretedasleadingtowardsamorejustandequitableworld,andpotentiallyasteptowardscreatingaformalsystemofglobalgovernance.

Acontrastinglineofcosmopolitanresearch,oftencalledworldpolitytheory(referringspecificallyto theneo-institutional studiesof JohnMeyer,FranciscoRamirezandcolleagues), tends tobeagnosticaboutthemoralityofaglobalculture,citingprosandconsofthetrendstheyobserve.Intheclassicpaperoutliningaworldculturalapproach,Meyeretal(1997)statethatduetotheemergenceofaworldsociety“greatergoodbecomespossibleandlikelybutsotoodoesgreaterevil,asgoodandevilbecomemorederivativeofworldcultureandthereforeofgreaterscalethaninearliertimes”(p.173).Further,worldpolitytheoryassertsthataglobalsocietyexistsbecauseof the lackofaworldgovernmentandarguesthat thenation-state isdefinedandlegitimatedas the primary actor on theworld stage. From this perspective, the rise of universalism anddiversity indicatesadecline incharismaof thenation-stateand increasing interconnectednessworldwide,butdonotportendthedemiseofthestate.Thefirstlineofworkinterpretsanincreaseintransnationalismasasteptowardsmoreformalglobalgovernance.Totheextentthatworldsocietytheorytakesanormativestance,itiscriticalofnotionsofaworldgovernment.Meyeretal(1997)arguethat“apowerfullyorganizedandauthoritativeworldwideactorwouldobviouslylower the dynamism ofworld society” (p. 169). Thus,world polity scholars do not interpretincreasingemphasesonuniversalismanddiversityintextbooksasanaturalstepontheroadtoasingleworldgovernmentorhomogenousworldsociety,nordotheyviewthecreationofaformalsystemofglobalgovernanceastheultimategoalofcosmopolitanism.

Linesofcosmopolitanismalsodifferintheirunderstandingofthemechanismsdrivinganincreasein universalism anddiversity. For some, the trends of cosmopolitanism arise unintentionally,insomecasesduetothepressuresofglobalization(Heldetal,1999)orasabyproductof theactivitiesofexperts,professionals,andnation-statesenactingglobally-acceptedscriptsforrationalbehavior (Meyeret al., 1997).Theworldpolityperspectiveargues countriesadopta rangeofpractices,suchassigninginternationalhumanrightstreaties,becauseitistheexpected,rationalandlegitimatethingforcountriestodo,notnecessarilybecausetheybelieveinthetreatyorintendtoenforceit.Thisoftenleadstoextensivedecouplingbetweenformalpoliciesandon-the-groundrealities.Insomecasesasymbolicpolicyadoptioncaninfluencepracticeinawaythatconformsto the cosmopolitan idealsofglobalgovernance,but this isunrelated to the initial reason forratifyingatreaty(SeetheexampleofimprovementsinhumanrightspracticesinHafner-Burtonand Tsutsui 2005).

Alternatively,othersargue theglobalizationandworldpolitymechanisms laidoutabovearea deformed version of cosmopolitanism (Beck & Sznaider, 2006). In this view, cosmopolitantrends must emerge from a struggle by individuals to promote and implement the idealsof cosmopolitanism itself, not as a byproduct of economic globalization or of countries andindividualsenactingscriptsofrationalactorhood.Papastephanou(2002)differentiatesbetweenglobalizationandtheintentionalcreationofcosmopolitantrendsbyclaiming“thefirstsignifiesanempiricalphenomenonwhereastheseconddenotesanideal”(p.75).Inthecaseofschooling,Gunesh (2004)argues that“‘cosmopolitaneducation’–orperhaps it shouldbe ‘education forcosmopolitanism’–wouldbebasedonaclearconceptualizationof theoutcomes, in termsof‘cosmopolitanism’or‘thecosmopolitanindividual’,ratherthanonaneducationalcontext,suchasaparticular typeof school,oronapurposearising fromparticularviewsof the ‘needs’ofcontemporaryglobalsociety”(p.268-269).Inotherwords,forthisgroupofcosmopolitans,theobserved trends towards universalism and diversity are meaningless unless they stem fromintentional individual action in pursuit of cosmopolitan ideals. Thus, from this perspectiveobservingtheempiricaltrendshasnobearingoncosmopolitanismandonlyanassessmentofthemechanismsofchangecanprovideinsight.Intimethisparticulardividebetweenthevariantsofcosmopolitanthinkingmaylessen.Beck&Sznaider(2006)arguefora‘neo-cosmopolitanism’or‘cosmopolitanrealism’thatembracesworldchangesthatsupporttheirgoalseveniftheyoccurasside-effectsofglobalization.Theysuggestadopting“thefarthercosmopolitanritualsandsymbolsspread,themorechancetherewillbeofsomedayachievingacosmopolitanpoliticalorder”(p.8).

ConclusionThis research has shown an increase in universalism and diversity emphases in high schoolcitizenship education curriculaworldwide in the period since 1970. Empirically, this extendsstudiesofcosmopolitanismineducationtoagreaterrangeofcountriesandoveralongertimeperiodthanpreviousresearch.Theoretically,itillustratesthatcosmopolitanperspectivesvaryintheirinterpretationoftheprocessesdrivingsuchtrendsandtheimplicationsforsociety.Someinterprettheriseofuniversalismanddiversityasasteptowardsanidealworldgovernedbyasingleglobalpolity.Othersarguethatthesetrendsindicateashiftintheconceptionofcitizenshipworldwide,butthatnation-stateswillandshouldremainthemostlegitimateglobalactors.Further,whilesomedepict theconstructionofacosmopolitanworldasutopian,othersavoidtakinganormativestanceon theemergenceofaglobalpolity.Despite thesedifferences, cosmopolitanstudiesofallpersuasionsgreatlyaddtoourunderstandingofsocialandeducationalissuesbyemphasizingthatcountriesarenotindependentunitsofanalysisandbyrecognizingformsofidentityandattachmentbeyondthenation-state.
