The cosmopolitan sociology of Ulrich Beck has been widely recognized as making vital contributions to crosscutting conversations on globalization and transnational studies, including these debates that are being played out on the pages of Global Networks. Beck's impassioned critique of ‘methodological nationalism’ in his own discipline of sociology, in particular, has often served as a springboard for programmatic calls to attend more closely to transnational actors, issues, and processes. However, beyond the occasional acknowledgement, comparatively less attention has been paid so far to the potentialities, specificities, and practicalities of Beck's affirmative alternative vision for the socio‐cultural sciences, that of ‘methodological cosmopolitanism’. Building on and extending out from research experiences obtained in Beck's East Asia and Europe‐focused Cosmopolitan Climate Change (Cosmo‐Climate) project, this special theme brings together experts from across a range of socio‐cultural research fields to discuss and critically interrogate the challenges and capacities of doing methodological cosmopolitanism.

专题介绍：跨社会文化科学的方法论世界主义

乌尔里希·贝克（Eulrich Beck）的世界主义社会学被广泛认为是对全球化和跨国研究的横切对话的重要贡献，其中包括在全球网络页面上进行的辩论。贝克在自己的社会学学科中对“方法论民族主义”的热情批判尤其是经常被用作程序性呼吁的跳板，以呼吁他们更加密切地参与跨国参与者，问题和程序。然而，除了偶尔的承认，到目前为止，对贝克的社会文化科学平权替代性观点的潜力，特殊性和实用性的关注相对较少，即“方法论世界主义”。以贝克在东亚和欧洲为重点的大都会气候变化（Cosmo-Climate）项目中获得的研究经验为基础，并从中进行扩展，
