The idea of the 'nation-state' has failed, Glenn argues, and a major shift in our understanding of the state is needed. He provides an original approach by situating cosmopolitanism in its historical context and demonstrates that the state is necessarily cosmopolitan in character, and has always been subject to transnational law-making.
