ABSTRACT
The dominant contemporary paradigms of solidarity are challenged by migrant protests, and the argument of this chapter is that migrant protests can be understood within a wider research agenda of politicizing a cosmopolitan notion of solidarity. What the migrant protests do is to shape a cosmopolitan notion of solidarity that is not simply an extension of the common notions of solidarity grounded on citizenship. Cosmopolitan solidarity as prompted by migrant protests entails a more radical reconfiguration of the conceptual and normative structure of solidarity: as a double negation of the binary and exclusive construction of citizenship and solidarity, on the one hand, and on the other hand, of the pre-political grounds of contemporary notions of citizenship as a precondition of solidarity.
