More cosmopolitanism through more cosmopolitanism

Sounds silly, but it seems to be true. The individuals and countries that are most comfortable with cooperation and integration are the most globalized. That earns a "duh". The important take away point is that more integration begets more integration. Therefore, we need to understand the underlying mechanisms that increase the acceptance of integration, globalization, and cosmopolitanism. Easier and increased trade, increased cross-cultural contact, and language education would seem to be essential.

I read a recent study that investigated the question as to whether increased globalization will lead to a retreat into parochialism and xenophobia or more acceptance of global cooperation.

Read the study "Globalization and human cooperation". It's only 5 pages. Get to it.
