Omschrijving
The distinction between mundane practice and/or competences on the one hand and a form of consciousness or moral aspiration on the other hand, which recurs in scholarly discussions of cosmopolitanism is rendered ambiguous when applied to actual cases, ‘on the ground’. This book was originally published as a special issue of Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power.
