Abstract
theoretical discussion of postnational identity and citizenship. 4 Habermas's abstract theoretical formulations are not altogether separate from his contributions to German public debate?in this case notably in relation to the incorporation of the East into a united but Western dominated Germany, to the historians' debate over the legacy of the Third Reich, and to the contention over change in the citizenship law, enacted in watered down form to allow the children of immigrants rights to naturalization. 5 For thoughtful examples, see essays in Daniele Archibugi and David Held, (eds.), Cosmopolitan democracy (Cambridge: Polity, 1995) and Daniele Archibugi, David Held, and Martin K?hler, (eds.), Re imagining political community (Cambridge: Polity, 1998) and the more sustained exposition in David Held, Democracy and the global order: From the modern state to cosmopolitan governance (Cambridge: Polity, 1995). Habermas offers a similar call in The inclusion of the other (ed. C. Cronin and P. De Greiff; Cambridge, MA: MIT, 1998). See the essays connecting the present to Kant's cosmopolitan project in James Bohman and Matthias Lutz-Bachmann, (eds.), Perpetual peace: Essays on Kant's cosmopolitan ideal (Cambridge, MA: MIT, 1997).
