?:abstract
  • abstract: People who see themselves as and feel citizens of the world are oftenregarded as cosmopolitans. Sociology further distinguishes cosmopolitans by a setof particular orientations to the greater world. According to major normativeclaims of cosmopolitan theory, cosmopolitans hold attitudes and beliefs recognizingdiversity. They are also expected to be more open-minded, self-critical andfuture-oriented. Using data from the European Values Study (EVS), the article discussesthe possibilities to operationalize two measurement approaches to cosmopolitanism.The first one, termed the ‘identity approach’, is based on self-views asa world citizen and feelings of belonging. The second, labelled ‘cosmopolitan orientation’,relates to particular attitudes towards difference. Analyses show thatEVS data on the ‘identity approach’ are problematic. In a comparative cross-nationalstudy covering 31 European countries, it is found that individual-levelcharacteristics (gender, age, social class, citizenship, etc.) and structural conditions(GDP, sociopolitical regime) impact on the objective measurement of ‘cosmopolitanorientation’. The results of a multilevel regression on this measure support theusefulness of approaching cosmopolitanism from a more ‘objective’ point of view. (xsd:string)
