Why “cosmopolitics” is a great word
COSMOPOLITICS — [Noun] The theoretical and practical framework for politics conceived on a planetary scale, treating the world as a single, integrated political community. From the combining form cosmo- (from Greek kosmos, meaning "world" or "universe") + politics (from Greek politikos, meaning "of citizens or the state"). Unlike "geopolitics" (which maps power onto the fixed grammar of mountains, seas, and resources) or "international relations" (which negotiates between the sovereign desks of embassies), cosmopolitics imagines a polity without borders. It is the ghost in the machine of every climate accord, the vertigo of seeing a border as an arbitrary line in the sand, and the sobering touch of a single, fragile atmosphere held in common—a politics of a species finally recognizing its solitary address.
Etymology
From cosmo- + politics.
