Cross-state citizen networks: A response to Dallmayr

In a response to Fred Dallmayr's 'conversation across boundaries', this art icle focuses on the concentric character of most contemporary models of the territorial state and global diversity. Endorsing Dallmayr's agenda, while amending and augmenting it, the paper also explores a more rhizomatic or n etwork vision of pluralism. The argument is that such an ideal is most cong ruent with the conversation Dallmayr pursues.
