Title: Global citizenship as individual cosmopolitanism
Abstract: Many have understood global citizenship simply as synonymous with a cosmopolitan orientation. For example, Derek Heater, perhaps the most prominent student of the global citizenship concept, routinely interchanges the terms global or world citizenship and cosmopolitanism. His 2002 history of the concept is titled World Citizenship: Cosmopolitan Thinking and its Opponents, and cosmopolitanism and world citizenship are presented as equivalent terms throughout (Heater 2002; see also Heater 1996; Carter 1997). The influential volume on world citizenship edited by Kimberly Hutchings and Roland Dannreuther (1999) is titled simply Cosmopolitan Citizenship. Brian Barry declares that “A cosmopolitan is, by definition, a citizen of the world,” and so on (Barry 1999, 35; see Nussbaum 2002a; Brock 2009, 8–9).
