1 Hegemony and Global Citizenship

2 Philosophy, Public Policy, and Transnational Law Series Editor: John Martin Gillroy, Professor of International Relations and Founding Director of the Graduate Programs In Environmental Policy Design at Lehigh University. A Note from the Editor: This new series for Palgrave-Macmillan seeks, for the first time at a major publisher, to take the philosophical and public policy foundations of legal practice seriously, that is, not in terms of bits and pieces of theory or policy used to illustrate empirical claims, but as a systematic and integral basis for the study of codified law. The series will pursue scholarship that integrates the superstructure of the positive law with its philosophical and public policy substructure producing a more three-dimensional understanding of transnational law and its evolution, meaning, imperatives and future. For the purposes of this series, transnational law includes the traditional categories of comparative and international law and seeks to understand the role of, not just states, but persons, international organizations, NGOs and governments that create or use law that transcends sovereign states. The series encourages an interdisciplinary approach to transnational law and seeks research reports, original manuscripts or edited collections that explore the essence of legal practice in both the public policy arguments that inform legal discourse and the philosophical precepts that create the logic of concepts inherent in policy debate. The series aims to expand the types and use of philosophical and policy paradigms exploring the nature of transnational law, so that its empirical dimensions are better illuminated for practioners and scholars alike.

9 Series Editor s Preface 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.
