The paradox of security cosmopolitanism?

This engagement suggests looking at ‘security cosmopolitanism’ with substantive and political caution, arguing that it may not live up to its substantive promises and may present problematic political implications for those interested in finding a ‘way forward’ cognizant of post-structuralist concerns about theorizing global politics. It argues that ‘security cosmopolitanism,’ while seductive, might ultimately be a counterproductive paradigmatic shift, and suggests reevaluating both this paradigmatic shift and the idea of making new paradigms to solve the problems of existing ones.
