    摘要、提要註: The dream of a cosmopolitical utopia has been around for thousands of years. Yet the promise of being locally situated and at the same timeglobally connected and mobile has never seemed more possible than it is today. The question remains as to�whether it is positive and realistic for usto have multiple loyalties. Can we sustain community and solidarity with our neighbours while we look beyond our nation? And if we can't - or won't - consider distant strangers as part of our own world, are there increasingly dire consequences? This book reconnects classical sociological theory andcontemporary ideas on mobility, otherness, material assemblages, consumption and surveillance to render the ideaof a global cosmopolitan utopia amenable to sociological investigation. The book takes a realistic approach to the development of cosmopolitical arrangements. It embraces the imaginative impulses the cosmopolitandream provides, but takes into account the political, ethical and cultural dimensions of such cosmopolitan developments. In revisiting the relevance of classical sociological approaches in the context of contemporary theoretical challenges, the distinctive approach this booktakes to understanding cosmopolitanism will be of use to scholars and studentsalike.
