Rooted Cosmopolitanism: Canada and the World

Canadians take pride in being good citizens of the world, yet ourfailure to meet global commitments raises questions. Do Canadians needto transcend national loyalties to become full global citizens? Is theidea of rooted cosmopolitanism simply a myth that encouragescomplacency about Canada's place in the world? This volumeassesses rooted cosmopolitanism both in theory and practice. Byexploring how Canadians are accommodating "the world" inareas such as multiculturalism, climate change, and humanitarianintervention, the contributors test the possibility of reconcilingnational allegiances with commitments to human rights, global justice, and international law.
