Cosmopolity, Peace, Conflict

Kant's concept of Perpetual Peace is potentially misleading, if not empty.  For, by Peace, he means the absence of War, and by War, he means a conflict between independent Nations.  But, if Perpetual Peace is a condition of a Cosmopolity, then there are no independent Nations.  So, there can still be conflict at the end of History, except that it is internal to the Cosmopolity, though under the auspices of its jurisprudential system, either Civil or Criminal.  So, the "antagonisms" by means of which, according to Kant, Nature pushes the human race through History to a Cosmopolity, are not thereby, as his term 'Perpetual Peace' seems to connote, permanently eliminated.
