Globalization, as a world-wide phenomenon has left significant impact on political ideologies and theories of international relations. This paper highlights the communitarian and cosmopolitan IR theories, facing the challenges of globalization. The thesis of this paper emphasizes that the principles of globalization are generally incompatible with the principles of communitarian theory, but are consistent with the principles of cosmopolitanism which has led to the development of the theory in international relations. The fundamental challenges to globalization facing communitarianism and cosmopolitanism include state sovereignty under risk, opening or closing borders, Issues of values, culture and identity, mass migration and the right to citizenship. The aim of this paper is to identify a theoretical framework for the challenges of globalization that have led to the development of cosmopolitanism and the decline of communitarianism in international studies. The methodology of this study is analytical-comparative which focuses on analyzing and comparing the two IR theories, while facing the challenges of globalization.
