SYNOPSIS
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the
meaning of cosmopolitanism and world citizenship
in the history of Western political thought, and in
the evolution of international politics since 1500.
Providing an invaluable overview of earlier political
thought, recent theoretical literature and current
debates, this book also discusses recent
developments in international politics and
transnational protest. It will be of great interest to
those specializing in political theory, International
Relations and peace/conflict studies. It will also
interest those already acting as global citizens.

CAVEATS
OUTLINE

• Civil Society?
• Global Civil Society?
• Global Citizenship?
• Global Citizen?
CAVEATS
• Presentation is mainly grounded on
Carter’s “The Political Theory of Global
Citizenship” (1. Global civil society: Acting as global
citizens, and 2. Global citizenship and global governance)

• Inclusion of personal or collective

interpretation is inevitable
• Centers on Western Historiography
By: Mr. Jan Allan Diaz

CIVIL SOCIETY
Civil society
 A term that is generally used to refer to
social relations and organizations
outside the state or governmental
control.
 Refers to nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs) and associations
that people belong to for social and
political reasons
Example of civil society
 churches and church groups
 community groups
 youth groups
 service organizations
 interest groups
 academic institutions and organizations
 Though independent of the
governmental structure, these
organizations frequently become
involved in political activities.
 They try to influence governmental
decision making and participate in a
variety of public participation processes.
 During times of crisis created by war, the
structures of civil society often disintegrate
or are forcefully closed
 Same thing happens when authoritarian or
autocratic governments see civil institutions
as a threat and close them down
 This greatly weakens the integrative system
and leads to social relations based largely
on fear and force.
 Key to overcoming such society is the re-
establishment of a multitude of social
and political NGOs,Which give people a
voice in the affairs of their life, give them
a sense of belonging and integration
with other countrymen and women, and
connect them with their democratic
system in a meaningful way.
 Once civil society has been eliminated,
its recovery is very slow.  It can be aided
significantly by outside assistance--by
international NGOs coming in and
helping the local people start parallel
organizations of their own.

GLOBAL CIVIL
SOCIETY
 WHAT IS GLOBAL CIVIL SOCIETY?
• The concept of civil society has
become central to social theory
since the 1980s
• Essential to liberal democracies
• The sphere defined by the market
economy and its resulting
individualism and socially divisive
effects
CIVIL SOCIETY vs
GLOBAL CIVIL SOCIETY
• CIVIL SOCIETY is a sphere of institutions,
organizations and individuals located
between the family, the state and the
market in which people associate
voluntarily to advance common
interests
• GLOBAL CIVIL SOCIETY operates on the
world stage and goes beyond individual
states, markets or corporations
 GLOBAL CIVIL SOCIETY
• Builds upon the autonomy of civil society
bodies within their own nation states, and
links them within a transnational realm
independent of all nation states
• Can also partially substitute for and
precede world governance
• May be identified with social protest
movements and with organizations
providing aid
THE RELATION OF GLOBAL
CIVIL SOCIETY TO THE NATION STATE
• First, it can be seen as transcending
nation state frontiers
- Global Civil Society transcends state
frontier whenever transnational networks
or movements correspond, hold
conferences and plan common action to
promote social interests that unite them
 THE RELATION OF GLOBAL
CIVIL SOCIETY TO THE NATION STATE

• Second, it poses a direct

challenge to states when groups
within one country ignore or
oppose official policies to create
links with citizens in other
countries
HOW DOES GLOBAL CIVIL
SOCIETY PRECEDE BUT PROMOTE WORLD
GOVERNANCE?
• First, it can strengthen international
society as opposed to anarchy between
nation states
• Secondly, popular initiatives to promote
universal humanitarian goals strengthen
the political salience of principles of
human solidarity or respect for human
rights
 GLOBAL SOCIETY

• Is creating a context for strong

forms of international law and
global governance, although there is
some danger of their independence
being compromised by taking semi-
governmental functions and
cooperating too closely with either
governments or international
governmental organizations
CIVIL SOCIETIES grow through
GLOBALIZATION,
and at the same time,
people who participate in
CIVIL SOCIETIES
are globalizers themselves
VIOLENCE AGAINST
WOMAN AS A GLOBAL PROBLEM
In the summer of 2007, Egyptian leaders mounted a strong
public campaign against their country’s entrenched tradition
of cutting girls’ genitals before marriage.
Religious figures, government officials, and women activists
united to denounce the practice and support an outright ban.
The said campaign against mutilation was not merely a
spontaneous domestic affair.
Cutting had been the focus of an international movement for
decades and the critique had been incorporated in the
policies of intergovernmental organizations like the World
Health Organization.
In this way, Egyptian circumcision opponents joined a
GLOBAL CIVIL SOCIETY which reflects a new way of
thinking about women’s place in world society.
Women’s movements reach back to at least the mid-
1970s when feminists in many western countries had
already been agitating for greater equality.
Realizing they had a common cause various women’s
groups began to bundle their efforts internationally,
resulting in the United Nations declaring 1975-85 as
the DECADE FOR WOMEN.
 Through such actions,
women’s groups raised
international interest.
Eventually, the argument
emerged that women’s
rights were human rights.
This progress was made
possible by a transnational
campaign.
 WOMEN MOBILIZING FOR CHANGE

International women’s activism was

embodied in “Transnational Feminist
Networks” since the 1970s.
After WWII, between 1945 and
1975, about 59 women’s
International Nongovernmental
Organizations were founded, and
the following decade, 80 more
joined them.
 These women’s groups comprise an
important segment of GLOBAL CIVIL
SOCIETY because they are an example of
voluntary associations formed by people
from several countries who work on
global causes across and beyond state
borders.
They also embody key features of
GLOBAL CIVIL SOCIETY as they include
many loosely linked organizations with
different but overlapping agendas and
competing leaders, creating segmented
networks that are common in other
sectors of CIVIL SOCIETY as well.
 •In order to operate effectively, credit
cards, like the women’s movement,
require volunteers working for
international organizations.
•For credit cards, volunteers work for
and with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO).
•Working together in technical
committees, engineers and other
experts from many countries regularly
gather to set credit card standards.
•Since ISO has a small staff of less
than 200 at its Swiss headquarters, it
is volunteers who do much of the
work.

THE GLOBAL ASSOCIATION

REVOLUTION
 ISO and its sister organization, the
International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) constitute a whole sector of world
society because within its spheres of
operation, its rules rule.
ISO is similar to women’s groups because
volunteer-delegates make it run, it
addresses global problems, and it flourishes
in a dense network of organizations.
But if by GLOBAL CIVIL SOCIETY we mean associations
that develop between market and state, aiming
neither to make money nor to achieve state power,
ISO exists at its very edge because although ISO is not
interested in profit, it does depend on business and
has a direct impact on business, and though it is not a
government, it has close ties to government agencies.
ISO functions as part of the global “establishment” .
ISO and the thousands of organizations focused on
technical, scientific and professional matters that help
make world society work are by far the largest
segment of GLOBAL CIVIL SOCIETY.
THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE
RED CROSS
Became the very model of an international
nongovernmental organization.
After Swiss banker, Henry Dunant saw the
suffering of wounded soldiers after the 1859
battle of Solferino between French and
Austrian forces, he called for the founding of
relief societies that might take care of the
wounded in future wars.
Influential figures joined him to set up a
committee that would organize such relief
societies internationally.
 After founding relief societies
around the world, the RED CROSS
became a service provider,
responding to emergencies outside
of war.
Over the years, the RED CROSS and
its Islamic counterpart the RED
CRESENT have become global icons.
Global Civil Societies connect people across
borders, making their interdependence
more tangible. Members of global civil
societies think globally while trying to live
up to a set of world-cultural principles
typically focused on the rights of individuals
and the needs of humanity. In all these
ways, global civil society embodies
globalization.
INTERPRETING GLOBAL CIVIL SOCIETY
Since GLOBAL CIVIL SOCIETY embodies
globalization, other features of the world society
bolster it.
For example, many civil society groups receive
state support and work closely with governments.
And if fact, global civil society “could not survive
for more than a few days without the market
forces unleashed by turbocapitalism” which
themselves depend on global civil institutions.

۞GLOBAL
CITIZENSHIP

۞GLOBAL CITIZEN
Citizenship
• Legal status
• Identification with the state
• Sense of belonging to a community,
• Membership as equal among others
• An entitlement to make claims against the state
• Alternately compulsory or voluntary
• Active or passive
• Broadly moral or strictly legal
Citizenship is based on principles of equality.
- Prokhovnick, 1998
Global citizenship requires major
eradication of injustice and inequality.
-Nelly P. Stromquist
Realist Perspectives
• A minimal role of global citizenship H
O
WHY? B
B
- stresses the central role of nation states, which E
necessarily pursue their own interests, and the inevitable S
conflicts that ensue (Carter, 2001)
- centers on a superpower promoting the idea of
global citizenship using a realpolitik logic (Stromquist,
2009)
• Drawback: endorsement of the global citizenship idea
represents a return to the colonial “civilizing mission”
of the past (Arneil, 2006)
Liberal Perspective
G
• Clearly do enhance the scope for global citizenship
R
Why?
O
- there is a considerable scope for cooperation, a
recognition of overarching common interests, a T
I
growing body of international law and acceptance in U
principle of universal moral principles that should
S
influence states.
• Spread of liberal political institutions = strengthening
of global civil society
Alternative Frames in the
Conceptualization of Global
Citizenship (Nelly P. Stromquist)
1. World Culture
2. New-era
realism
3. Corporate
citizenship
4. Planetary
vessel
Eight characteristics of
Global citizenship (Cogan, 1997)

1. The ability to look at and approach problems as a member of a global

society;
2. The ability to work with others in a cooperative way and take
responsibility for one’s roles and duties;
3. The ability to understand, accept and tolerate cultural differences;
4. The capacity to think critical and systematic way;
5. The willingness to resolve conflict in a nonviolent manner;
6. The willingness to change one’s style and consumption habits to
protect the environment;
7. The ability to be sensitive toward and to defend human rights; and
8. The willingness and ability to participate in politics at local, national
and international levels.
Global citizen is someone committed to:
- social justice,
- diversity,
- sustainable economic development respecting
the environment, and
- peaceful world.
