In a new interpretation, Garrett Wallace Brown considers Kant's cosmopolitan thought as a form of international constitutional jurisprudence that requires minimal legal demands. He explores and defends topics such as cosmopolitan law, cosmopolitan right, the laws of hospitality, a Kantian federation of states, a cosmopolitan epistemology of culture and a possible normative basis for a Kantian form of global distributive justice.
In this excellent book Garrett Brown outlines and defends Kant's cosmopolitan political theory ... Strongly recommended for all those interested in Kant's political theory and in contemporary theories of global justice. -- John Charvet, London School of Economics and Political Sciences * Political Studies Review *

Grounding Cosmopolitanism is both a penetrating exposition of the logic of Kant's cosmopolitan theory and an insightful extrapolation of cosmopolitan ideas to the present condition of world politics. In doing so, this slim volume illuminates the moral foundations of human rights, humanitarian assistance and global governance -- no small accomplishment. -- Michael Doyle, Columbia University, author of Liberal Peace
