Cosmopolitical and Transnational Interventions An Interdisciplinary Series of Panels

GSA Conference 2010 • October 7-10 • Oakland, California

Organized by B. Venkat Mani & Elke Segelcke in collaboration with TRANSIT;

sponsored by the GSA Standing Committee on Interdisciplinary Initiatives

Contemporary socio-political theorists such as Etienne Balibar, Seyla Benhabib, Ulrich Beck and Edgar

Grandé, among others, have emphasized the need for a cosmopolitan Europe in the 21st century. Sucha Europe would utilize internal and external differences rather than suppressing them, and work

towards a “differential integration” of its subjects in order to optimally fulfill its transnational

obligations and connections.
