David Held: Cosmopolitismo
Full text linkEn la Teoría Política contemporánea, el nombre de David Held, catedrático en la London School, está unido al concepto de cosmopolitismo, pero su diseño no es solo teórico, sino que tiene alcance institucional. Es esto, tal vez, uno de los logros más importantes de este politólogo británico, del que ahora se publica Cosmopolitismo, como resumen de todas sus reflexiones anteriores. Otro rasgo que define la postura intelectual de Held es la valentía, ya que en esta época posmoderna es más «posmoderno» reivindicar sin más las diferencias y los particularismos en una mezcolanza relativista que termina concluyendo no que todos los valores culturales son iguales, sino que lo no existe es precisamente el valor.Reseña de "Cosmopolitismo" de David Held, por Josemária Carabante.

Críticas al "experimento mental" de david held
No full textIn this short paper we apply ourselves to critically examine the teoretical proposal by David Held
about the possibilities of formation of a �cosmopolitan democracy�. To this end, we present the
argument structured around three main principles: the principle of autonomy translated as the
ability to participate in public debates, the principle of the creation of a democratic legal state and
the principle of a cosmopolitan democracy resulting from the above. Then, give way to criticism of
the �mental experiment� suggested by the author as an exercise by which you can explore the
potentiality of autonomy in structuring contemporary societies.En este breve ensayo nos abocamos a examinar críticamente la propuesta teórica formulada por
David Held acerca de las posibilidades de constitución de una �democracia cosmopolita�. Para ello,
presentamos su argumento estructurado en torno a tres principios fundamentales: el principio de la
autonomía traducido como la capacidad de participación en debates públicos, el principio de la
conformación de un Estado legal democrático y el principio de una democracia cosmopolita
resultante de los anteriores. Luego, damos paso a la crítica del �experimento mental� que sugiere
el autor como ejercicio mediante el cual puede explorarse la potencialidad de la autonomía en la
estructuración de las sociedades contemporáneas
Cosmopolitanism in the multipolar world
No full textProfessor David Held delivered the 2012 Globalism Research Centre Tom Nairn Lecture on March 27, 2012.
\u27Cosmopolitanism in the Multipolar World\u27 presented David Held\u27s thinking about the future of humankind with a determined optimism, while recognising that from 9/11 to the present day, terrorism, conflict, territorial struggle and the clash of identities define the moment. While his talk acknowledged these challenges, Professor Held argued that the 20th century established a series of cosmopolitan steps which develop forms of action beyond nation-states, to a more rule-based international order founded on principles of individual human rights.

Global political theory
No full textPhilosophers have never shied away from interrogating the nature of our obligations beyond borders. From Hobbes to the international lawyers Grotius, Pufendorf, Vattel, and of course Kant, modern philosophy has always attempted to define the nature and shape of a just international order, and the types of mutual obligations members of different political communities might share. In today's hyper-connected world, these issues are more important than ever and have been an impetus to a political theory with global scope and aspirations.
Global Political Theory offers a comprehensive and cutting-edge introduction to the moral aspects of global politics today. It addresses foundational aspects of global political theory such as the nature of human rights, the types of distributive obligations that we have toward distant others, the relationship between just war theory and global distributive justice, and the legitimacy of international law and global governance institutions. In addition, it features analyses of key applied moral debates in global politics, including the ethical aspects of climate change, the moral issues raised by the mobility of financial capital, the justness of different international trade regimes, and the implications of natural resource ownership for human welfare and democratic political rule. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, this accessible and lively book will be essential reading for students and teachers of political theory, philosophy and international relations
