“…Going to the next step, Schueth and O'Loughlin (2007) have produced an empirical measure of cosmopolitanism, utilizing the World Values Survey to build a multi-level statistical model. Twenty-one national contexts of societal attitudes and values surrounding cosmopolitanism -expressed as a sense of 'belonging to the world as a whole' -were measured.…”

“…Sin embargo, este perfil era distinto en algunos contextos. Por ejemplo, el conjunto de la población en los países de la antigua URSS era más cosmopolita que en otros lados, lo que interpretaron como falta de confianza en los estados surgidos tras su desintegración (Schueth y O´Loughlin, 2007).…”

Universidad Rey Juan Carlos ORCID iD: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-3832-4663antonio.martin@urjc.es RESUMEN:Este artículo pretende realizar un estudio sobre la posible aparición de un nuevo tipo de ciudadanía: la ciudadanía global. Buena parte de la bibliografía de ciencias sociales lleva tiempo anunciando el debilitamiento del estado-nación y de la ciudadanía nacional como resultado del proceso de globalización. La consecuencia sería el aumento del cosmopolitismo y la emergencia de una identidad ciudadana global. Esta sería, en principio, especialmente acusada entre los colectivos más globalizados. En el artículo se analizarán dos: los mochileros y los expatriados corporativos. Sin embargo, se intentará mostrar que cuando se utiliza la evidencia empírica disponible existen rasgos contradictorios. Tanto los mochileros como los expatriados corporativos comparten una retórica cosmopolita que no tiene un correlato tan claro en la esfera de las prácticas. PALABRAS CLAVE:Globalización; ciudadanía; ciudadanía global; cosmopolitismo; elites globales.ABSTRACT: This paper aims to study the possible emergence of a new type of citizenship: global citizenship. For some time much of the literature in social science has related a weakening of nation-state and national-citizenship as a result of the globalization process. The consequence would be an increase in cosmopolitanism and emergence of a global citizenship identity. This, in principle, would be especially pronounced amongst the most globalized groups. The paper discusses two of these: backpackers and corporate expatriates. However, we show here that contradictory features arise when the available empirical evidence is studied. Both backpackers and corporate expatriates share a cosmopolitan rhetoric that has no clear correlation with the areas of social practice.

“…For example, for many nationalists, the "circle of compassion" ends at their national borders. To be sure, there are many other loyalities other than nationalism; for many, the primary locus of affection is to their town, community, or tribe (Schueth & O'Loughlin, 2008). Many indigenous and Aboriginal peoples have spatial imaginations that are decidedly non-nationalist in origin and nature.…”

“…As globalization has steadily reworked the fabric of countless social formations across the planet, cosmopolitan views have slowly gained popularity. According to Schueth and O'Loughlin (2008), using results of the World Values Survey in 2000, one-fifth of the world's people already view themselves in post-national, cosmopolitan terms. In light of pervasive and often virulent nationalism, this is a surprisingly high proportion, and one that has risen over time.…”

Cosmopolitanism is an ethical, moral, and political philosophy with profound geographical implications. In extending circles of compassion to a worldwide scale, it encourages respect for difference, including the concerns of distant strangers. This essay outlines the precepts of cosmopolitanism, its historical development, and the challenges it poses to nationalism. It justifies teaching cosmopolitanism in geography courses based on the need for empathetic understanding in an age of intense globalization. It offers strategies for teaching cosmopolitanism that seek to challenge students' geographical imaginations, including the author's experiences. The conclusion links teaching cosmopolitanism to geographies of care and caring.
