Book Synopsis
Benhabib argues that since the UN Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, we have entered a phase of global civil society which is governed by cosmopolitan norms of universal justice - norms which are difficult for some to accept as legitimate since they are in conflict with democratic ideals.

Trade Review
this volume provides a sophisticated analysis of the concept and one of its major problems, and so is a valuable addition to the literature...[Benhabib] has successfully argued that the scope of the moral conversation needs to be universal...given the short length of the volume, it is on the whole a benefit that Benhabib and her commentators explore in such detail one important issue which faces liberal democratic cosmopolitan theorists. * Megan Kime, Ethical Theory and Moral Practice *
