“…The idea of cosmopolitanism is complex, multifaceted and goes beyond transversality (Gizatova et al, 2017). Here, it is understood as a principle of mutual respect and equal moral worth of all human beings, regardless of ethnicity, nation, beliefs, gender, or socioeconomic position (Ypi 2012).…”

In the last decade, there has been a significant rise in the number of global social movements, generating claims of a new networked era of global social movements, in which young people often play a central role. Young generations and social movements tend to identify with a diverse set of social and political issues on both a global and local scale, while often displaying a progressive and transversal outlook. Among these youth social movements, we find Fridays For Future, a youth climate organization noted for its unique scope and tactics as well as for illustrating the prominence of environmental issues in youth activism. Since 2018, the movement has progressively grown into a network composed of many local and national groups across the world. Beyond analysis of the global character of the movement and the profile and motivations of its activists, it seems opportune to look at how—at the organizational level—these local groups evolve and position themselves. Based on a social network and a content analysis of Fridays For Future-Barcelona’s Twitter account since its creation, this article explores the organization’s “glocal” and transversal dynamics, the relationship that might exist between these two, and the potential influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on these processes. The results show that, stemming from a global preoccupation for climate change, this Youth Climate Movement organization has been increasingly oriented towards local-level networking, anchoring its activism in local struggles and realities. They also show a positively-associated process—reinforced by the COVID-19 pandemic—of increasing transversality, reflecting aspirations for global justice and the idea of an interdependency between climate change and other social, political and economic issues.

“…Kosmopolitanisme merupakan pandangan hidup yang mengutamakan tradisi dan budaya manusia secara universal di atas tradisi dan budaya suatu bangsa. Pada dasarnya semua manusia memiliki kepentingan dan nilai-nilai umum atau common interest and values (Gizatova, Ivanova, & Gedz, 2017). Kontroversi muncul ketika kosmopolitanisme menjadi gerakan politik yang ingin mengurangi pengaruh politik nation-states demi wilayah kemanusiaan yang lebih luas (Martell, 2011).…”

This study aimed to analyze the meaning of love for the homeland from time to time, the concept of world citizenship, global citizenship, and cosmopolitanism in the global era, and analyze the urgency of patriotism education in the global era. This study used a qualitative method by explaining the feelings and ideas of the informants regarding the occurrence of a specific behaviour or symptom. The meaning of love for the homeland had shifted from ancient times, medieval times, to modern times. In ancient times, love for the homeland was regional; in the Middle Ages, it was personal; while in modern times, it was more national and national. The concepts of global citizenship, global citizenship, and cosmopolitanism in the global era showed connectivity and interdependence between humans in all parts of the world. The urgency of patriotism education in the global era was related to providing learning materials about global citizenship education or global citizenship education to instil awareness of universal humanitarian issues.

Purpose This study aims to examine the effects of cosmopolitanism on organizational commitment (OC), with a particular focus on the mediating impact of the employees’ challenge-oriented and affiliation-oriented organizational citizenship behaviors within the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The researcher has adopted the theory of planned behavior, the theory of reasoned action and the social exchange theory as a theoretical foundation. Design/methodology/approach The quantitative (deductive) method is used. The primary data is collected using a cross-sectional questionnaire. The data collection process was administered across five months. A total of 800 questionnaires were distributed randomly to various business sectors and industries in the UAE. A response rate of 86.9% was achieved, leading to 695 complete and feasible questionnaires. Findings Statistical analyzes prove that cosmopolitanism was indeed a valid predictor of OC. Contrary to the expectations, and more specifically, the results revealed that diversity is not a predictor of both challenge-oriented organizational citizenship and OC. The current study indicates that global openness (GOP) is an insignificant predictor of OC. Most remarkably, the present study shows a partially substantial mediation effect of affiliation-oriented organizational citizenship between GOP and OC. Last but not least, challenge-oriented and affiliation-oriented organizational citizenship are significant full mediators between one-world consciousness, cultural acceptance and OC. Originality/value Globalization has dramatically increased the diversity of the workforce. This scenario has led to the creation of the concept of Cosmopolitanism. The UAE is a unique setting, given that the workforce in the region is globally diverse. Thus, this study is a unique attempt to bridge the gap between the rich Western theories and the under-researched Non-Western context, namely, the UAE. As each city has its local-rooted environment, one cannot argue that Cosmopolitanism inevitably ignores international orientation. This study explains the embedded factors that constitute Dubai city’s cosmopolitan community, where developments and emerging growing economic trends arise.
