Abstract: Global cosmopolitanism is a metaphor, goal, and social vision deployed to challenge spatial or cultural encapsulation and to generate a sense of interaction, global mixing, and sharing around the world. The term “global cosmopolitans” is a self‐ascribed status of those highly educated individuals who, seeking travel across national borders, are considered to practice a positive attitude towards the unfamiliar, have skills for intercultural communication, and a taste for different cuisines. However, global cosmopolitanism is a controversial set of political ideas. Analytically, global cosmopolitanism can take various forms and include different social groups. It differs from the concept of transnationalism and multiculturalism.
