I am honored to welcome Bob Palehke’s book to the Philosophy, Public Policy and Transnational Law series at MacMillan. This book represents an interdisciplinary approach to one of the most important transnational policy question facing the twenty-first century: Global Citizenship In An Increasing Global And Transnational Society. As well as its political, economic, and moral implications, what we decide in this area of policy will have a profound effect on international law in terms of stateless persons, human rights, humanitarian law, as well as the cosmopolitan future of universal jurisdiction, immunity, and the future of any transnational constitutional law. Paehlke accurately places the problem as a direct outgrowth of economic globalization and argues for an evolutionary definition of citizenship that transcends the state and ushers in a new era that replaces individual state hegemony with a more egalitarian, democratic, and ecological global society. This argument is not an end-point, but like all the books in this series, the beginning of a discussion that is critical to the future of humanity and the transnational law that will regulate our interrelationships with one another and the environment in which we live.
