Abstract

This project concerns the accomplishment of the fourth step in five of the still in progress PhD research. The main object of this research circumscribes the studies on cosmopolitanism in sociology, in the period between the formulations of Georg Simmel (1858-1918) and Ulrich Beck (1944-). The fourth step is focused on mapping and systematizing the several studies on cosmopolitanism in contemporary sociology, among which the German studies stand out for their impact. (AU)
