Sažetak
Although the borders themselves have always been symbolically important for the kind of world view that does not recognize them, this new review of their relationship seems necessary, because in the 2020s it seems increasingly that cosmopolitanism itself is “on the border”, or at a turning point. After increased interest in the idea of cosmopolitanism at the end of the 80’s and the beginning of the 90’s of the 20th century, “fatigue” with the topic has been felt more and more in recent years, even before the pandemic and the emergence of the new cold and less than cold war’s dealt blows to the cosmopolitan idea. In this unfavourable global political climate, it is not at all surprising that the idea of celebrating “shared humanity” across borders has lost some of its appeal. Thus, the focus of this review will be on: whether cosmopolitanism, which has long argued that borders are irrelevant and that all people share certain qualities that should be acknowledged by all, still has a place in the modern global political environment of border wall construction, escalating economic and war conflicts – or has it once again been left to oblivion?
