Abstract
La tradición de pensamiento cosmopolita parte de la consideración de que existe una comunidad política universal, un espacio común de convivencia que la globalización no habría hecho sino reforzar y hacer más claramente perceptible. Dentro de este espacio confluyen agentes públicos y privados cuyas dinámicas y correlación de fuerzas está sometiendo a importantes tensiones a aquello que puede concebirse como lo común más allá del Estado, poniéndolo en muchas ocasiones al servicio de intereses privados y afectando a su adecuado cuidado y protección. Una realidad que, para el cosmopolitismo, demandaría mayores dosis de gobernanza democrática trasnacional y la progresiva construcción de un demos global sobre el que asentar dicha gobernanza. El presente artículo analiza cómo diversos elementos teóricos en los que descansa la tradición de pensamiento republicana pueden resultar útiles para el fortalecimiento y avance de las propuestas de carácter cosmopolita.
The tradition of cosmopolitan thought is based on the consideration that there is a universal political community, a common space for coexistence that globalization has reinforced and has made more clearly perceptible. Within this space, public and private agents converge, whose dynamics and correlation of forces are subjecting to significant tensions that which can be conceived as the common beyond the State, often putting it at the service of private interests and affecting its adequate care and protection. A reality that, for cosmopolitanism, would demand greater levels of transnational democratic governance and the progressive construction of a global demos on which to base this governance. This article analyzes how various theoretical elements on which the tradition of republican thought is based can be useful for the strengthening and advancement of cosmopolitan proposals.
