Abstract
The “Global society, cosmopolitanism and human rights” research team (GSCHR), composed by some dozen of European and extra-European scholars, has accepted the invitation of the Italian sociological Association – Sociological Theories Section and of the International Association of the French Language Sociologists for systematizing and focuses the researches on this issues. In the recent years the state-nation paradigm has changed in the global society one as the Western cultural model has given the priority to the multiple experiences in the different world contexts. Today the multiplicity is a suggestive testing ground for those sociologists that want to deepen the Eisenstadt theories. The contributions of some GSCHR scholars, collected in this book, intend to explore these theories and similar by interdisciplinary tools – e. g. the comparison with Kant (Telegdi-Csetri) – and in different social and geographical contexts (Cordeiro through work-life balance and Sorana with Latin-American arms exportations). One of the main hypothesis is the European cultural challenge in the global society: the integration of the European democratic values and human rights in the “cosmopolitanism model”. There are some hurdles that make it difficult: the uncertainty of the law and the global communication of the human rights, the assessment of the risk scenarios and the confrontation of the cultures. The contributions of this book open only some of the views on this issue, starting from the essential notions of a new sociological branch of research. Its knowledge is recommended to the social sciences students and to all the teachers of the same educational level. The issues is a relevant field of research also for the scholars that work on he global scenarios and their specificities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
