Federalist author from Lionel Robbins to Ludwig Dehio, Emery Reves and Mario Albertini have been forerunners in criticizing the nationalist bias of their disciplines. Ulrich Beck provided a theoretical vision of this problem, developing the concept of methodological nationalism, which, unfortunately, is still mainstream in social sciences. Beck and other sociologists are developing a methodological cosmopolitanism to deal with a partially, but increasingly, globalised world. Perspectives on Federalism would like to contribute to this debate in all academic disciplines of the social sciences. N. 1 of 2012 will thus be devoted to this issue.
