This article defines cosmopolitan security and discusses it in relation to three other security perspectives: state-centred, multilateral and market-based security perspectives. From here it will try to analyze the developments in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, applying the four perspectives in three stages: pre-conflict issues, outright conflict (war itself) and post conflict issues. Finally, it will discuss opportunities and possible obstacles for cosmopolitan security as a future model for global security.
