Kaori Nagai & Caroline Rooney 
Cosmopolitan Animals [PDF ebook] 

Cosmopolitan Animals asks what new possibilities and permutations of cosmopolitanism can emerge by taking seriously our sharing and ‘becoming-with’ animals. It calls for a fresh awareness that animals are important players in cosmopolitics, and that worldliness is far from being a human monopoly.
