Beschreibung
This book considers the ways in which a cosmopolitan vision might
constitute the ethical basis for the validity criteria of a new World
Order, and thus the basis for the validity of international law in a
future global political reality. It examines the transformation of some of
the fundamental pairs of concepts associated with the change of the
concept of the state in our post-national epoch, and it analyses the
change of the perception of the legal subject and the new role of the
individual person in international law after the Second World War.
Finally, it raises a number of questions concerning a cosmopolitan
democracy with a network of national and trans-national institutions.
