Ground-breaking new book by John Urry outlining what he calls the ‘new mobilities paradigm’ for the social sciences
An analysis of different mobilities, or ways of movement, both historically and in the present
Argues that the social world will be analysed differently once peoples’ lives, organisations, states and global institutions are seen to be dealing with extensive and hugely contested mobility processes
Clearly written using many modern examples and references to literary works
Powerful and persuasive, this book will appeal to students and scholars across the social sciences and humanities
