Özet

This chapter aims to provide a tentative basis for the possible contribution of Global International Relations (IR) to the concept of good international citizenship by focusing on the concept of self. It argues that by fostering an internationalized sense of self through Global IR’s commitment to works based on World History and the interaction between everyday life and international relations as a potential field of inquiry, a global consciousness attentive to the suffering of people in other parts of the world can be generated. It concludes that broadening the concept of citizenship as an ethico-political identity that also accommodates nonstate actors, allows for generating an inclusive political ontology. Such ontology can enhance the emancipatory potential of a novel form of good international citizenship that is informed by a global consciousness.
