In this important new book Alain Touraine – the leading
sociologist and social theorist – attacks the positions of
the neoliberals and certain thinkers on the left and develops an
alternative view of the tasks for political thought and action
today. He argues that the globalization of the economy has not
dissolved our capacity for political action, and that the actions
of the most underprivileged sections of society are not restricted
to rebellion against domination: they can also demand rights (in
particular, cultural rights), and can therefore put forward an
innovative and not merely critical conception of society and its
future.
Beyond Neoliberalism is an original and timely contribution to current debates about the changing nature and goals of politics in our contemporary, globalized age. It will be of great interest to students of politics and sociology and will also appeal to a broader readership interested in contemporary politics and current affairs.
