Markus Huss reports from the conference ”Cosmopolitanism in a Wider Context: Conceptualizing Past and Present”:
““A general definition of cosmopolitanism as 'engagement with others' must therefore be scrutinized critically and filled with substance, according to Skey, who maintained that trafficking and international crime could be included in such a definition — after all, they are both phenomena characterized by transnational relationships and genuine encounters with people from diverse ethnic and national settings.”>
