This book delves into the intricate relationship between cosmopolitanism and sovereignty, often perceived as opposing forces. However, the author argues that these two concepts are more interconnected than commonly believed and rely on each other in certain aspects. Through the introduction of a novel theory, the book offers a comprehensive philosophical analysis to demonstrate how these notions can theoretically and practically coexist. This theoretical exploration is complemented by a detailed empirical discussion that highlights the practical connections between sovereignty and cosmopolitanism, while also exposing the limitations of stricter interpretations of sovereignty that view it as exclusive. Furthermore, the book explores territorial disputes to examine how sovereignty and cosmopolitanism can work harmoniously to address global issues.

This book will appeal to academics and researchers in the fields of Legal Philosophy, Legal Theory and Jurisprudence, Public International Law, International Relations, and Political Science. It provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics between cosmopolitanism and sovereignty, shedding light on their interdependence and potential for collaboration in addressing global challenges.
