Morphology
cosmopolitical = political (transparent) = cosmo + polit + ical
This is clear prefixation of 'cosmo-' to 'political', so the global/world sense is readily recoverable from the parts.
Etymology
Cosmopolitical comes from the parts cosmo- meaning 'world', as in cosmos or cosmopolitan, and political from politics meaning 'matters of government and people'. So a cosmopolitical idea is a political view that cares about the whole world, not just one country.
