This is a must read-book."– Professor Shujiro Yazawa, Hitotsubashi University and Seijo University, Tokyo"As the world is caught up in a whirlwind of multiple crises, we desperately need to read this remarkable collection of essays, assemble by two outstanding scholars, that challenges us in understanding the world of strangers and sets out the case for a cosmopolitan approach to contemporary global politics."– Professor Sari Hanafi, American University of Beirut, President of the International Sociological Association
