This paper, although old, described an interesting concept of adolescent development and psychology. Its premise: a human growth potential is called the stage of cosmopolitanism – a profound inner development and disposition to view people, oneself, events, ideas, and things in a cosmopolitan perspective.


Mulkey, L., Dougan, W., Steelman, L. (2005). Electronic governance: Locals and cosmopolitans “in” and “as” a virtual academic community. International Journal of Public, 28, 703, 721.

This paper conducts an experiment on the difference between two professional role orientations within the faculty and administrative staff of a university via an online discussion board. The two orientations are locals and cosmopolitans and were distinguished by their respective forms of discourse - those who communicated with formal discourse were categorized as cosmopolitans while those who use informal discourse were labeled locals.


Kriegman, O. (2003). Dawn of the cosmopolitan: The hope of a global citizens movement. Great Transition Initiative Paper Series. Retrieved, November 21, 2006, from http://www.gtinitiative.org/default.asp?action=43

This paper provides an analysis of the benefits that a global citizens movement brings for individuals, communities, and the world at large. The paper promotes this movement and the practice of comsopolitanism.

Now, I will temporarily stop searching for new research and simply research and take notes on the references that I already have. Thereafter, I will see if I have enough research.
