- Abstract
To begin, we need to encounter the relationship between cosmopolitanism and the broader social and economic phenomenon called globalisation. From these argumentative links, conceptually and theoretically, we will be able to understand where and how to situate ecological stewardship and the role of NGOs in pursuing its objectives. Social scientists have generally agreed that globalisation is a process and outcome, transformative and effective in bringing almost all aspects of modern Western societies’ lifestyles to become worldwide standards. This paper aims to present a conceptual analysis of the question of what makes it possible for the agenda of environmental protection to continue to work even though the underlying foundations and institutions of liberal democracy are declining. It proposes a cosmopolitan theoretical perspective to address the above puzzle, arguing that cosmopolitanism ideas and practices match the need for a larger space for the roles of non-state advocacy groups – non-governmental environmental organisations that can undertake more significant environmental efforts.
