The reflections of Hakan Altinay, a researcher from Brookings University (USA), and his conversations with prominent scholars and opinion leaders present their views on the project of foundation and prospects of global citizenship as an institution capable of generating and realising ideas adequate to global challenges. What is the essence of this global actor for regulating world processes? What is a global social contract? What are the possibilities of interaction between civil society, national and international institutions in rebuilding the world order on just and moral grounds? The answers to these and many other difficult questions provide insights into this relatively new field of knowledge and practice of existence in an interdependent world.
