The Cosmopolitan epoch: Configuring a just world order
نویسنده
چکیده
Extract: In summary then, the 'new cosmopolitanism' offers a basis to establish a more just global order, predominantly through its espousal of a commitment to humanity as a whole, facilitated by building consensus on values which demonstrate a commitment beyond the nation. It is not universalist, although it has the potential to become so, and it is not predicated on the existence of a global public opinion. Rather, it seeks frameworks for political and economic decision-making at the global and national levels. In this context, NGOs have a key role to play in activating the 'new cosmopolitan' system given their cosmopolitan credentials.

Current systematic arrangement of this group, based on morphological, behavioral, and plumage characters, suggests that New World species evolved from a single invasion by a Eurasian common ancestor and that all New World species form a monophyletic group. No clear link has ever been established...
متن کاملRelation of uncertainty for time
We introduce two time: deterministic Newton time-stream t and stochastic timeepoch τ . The relation of uncertainty for time-epoch of physical events ∆τ∆D ≥ c1, (∗) where c1 = const, is proved. The function D(t) = −c1 d dt ln fτ (t), characterizes velocity of disorganization of the event-phenomena; fτ (t) is density of probability of time-epoch τ . The relation (*) is verified not by means of ex...

The concept of the national is often perceived, both in public and academic discourse as the central obstacle for the realization of cosmopolitan orientations. Consequently, debates about the nation tend to revolve around its persistence or its demise.
