"Ulrich Beck is one of the most important social theorists of our
time. In Power in the Global Age he provides an insightful
and rigorous theoretical framework to analyze the new forms of
power and counter-power in the global sphere. It shows the
relevance of theory for understanding the major political conflicts
that are reshaping our world. It will be mandatory reading in
universities everywhere."
-- Manuel Castells, University of Southern California, Los
Angeles
"In this fascinating new book Ulrich Beck develops further a
manifesto of, and for, a cosmopolitan world. Especially important
is his attempt to decipher and characterize the architecture of
cosmopolitan states and civil society. This major book may well do
for 'cosmopolitan society' what Beck’s earlier works did for
deciphering the nature of 'risk society'."
-- John Urry, Lancaster University
