| Description | In European history, democracy, law and national identity are connected with the national state. However, globalization weakens its position. New supra-national structures have formed, mainly since 1989, a new societal order and supra-national societies that try and find the space for supra-national democracy. The critics of cosmopolitanism argue that the citiznes are passive, the government of elites is dominant, supra-national democracy is unreal and the possibilities of control are absent. One of the possible ways of European development in the future, the cosmopolitan theory is positive in the fact that it prefers the dialogue between citizens, nations, and cultures, that it looks for concord in solving of global problems, that it aims at formation of civic society on national, European and global levels. |
