It is imperative that the maxim of nation-based realpolitik - that national interests have necessarily to be pursued by national means - be replaced by the maxim of cosmopolitan realpolitik. The more cosmopolitan our political structures and activities, Beck suggests, the more successful they will be in promoting national interests, and the greater our individual power in this global age will be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eReflections on the rise of right-wing populism in Europe\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter I Introduction: New Critical Theory with cosmopolitan intent\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter II Critique of the national outlook\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter III Global domestic politics changes the rules: On the breaching of boundaries in economics, politics and society\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter IV Power and counter-power in the global age: The strategies of capital\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter V State strategies between renationalization and transnationalization\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter VI Strategies of civil society movements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter VII Who wins?
