Magdalena Nowicka is a Research Assistant at the Institute of Sociology, Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich, Germany and holder of the German Research Association scholarship. She is the author of a number of articles on European integration processes, collective identity, cosmopolitanism and spatial mobility.

'Nowicka and Rovisco make a great deal of sense of cosmopolitanism in this thoughtful and thought-provoking contribution to one of the most vital agendas in contemporary social and political life. The book brings together established names in the debate along with new contributions of younger researchers - an excellent combination of perspectives.' Kevin Robins, Goldmiths College, UK 'Cosmopolitanism in Practice makes a valuable contribution to the debate on the role of cosmopolitanism in political life. This highly coherent edited collection allows us to see more clearly the ways in which the "big"cosmopolitan themes, such as engagement with the Other and universal ethical values, insinuate themselves into everyday politics.' Chris Rumford, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK 'This edited volume makes a key contribution in moving us on from debating cosmopolitanism to actually conceiving of it in its diverse forms...By questioning how, where and why cosmopolitanism is practiced, this book illustrates the rich and multidisciplinary research programme cosmopolitanism can provide.' National Identities '... the collection represents an impressive attempt to trace cosmopolitan values in practice, as well as a source of intellectual inspiration and an invitation to engage, in our time of 'war on terror' (Young), in a search for peaceful co-existence.'
