A major new book by one of the leading social thinkers of our time.
Beck develops his now classic concepts of second modernity, risk society and reflexive sociology into a radical new sociological analysis of the cosmopolitan implications of
globalization.
Beck draws extensively on empirical and theoretical analyses of such phenomena as migration, war and terror, as well as a range of literary and historical works.
A persistent theme running through Beck’s reflections is his attempt to recover an authentically European tradition of cosmopolitan openness and otherness and tolerance of difference.
