- Brilliant new work by Ulrich Beck, one of the leading social
thinkers of our time written with an eminent scholar of
sociology.
- 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 in Europe.
- 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.
- An essential text for students and scholars in sociology and
politics.
- This book completes Ulrich Beck’s trilogy on
‘cosmopolitan realism', whose volumes complement each other
and can be read independently.
- The Cosmopolitan Vision develops the theoretical perspective which in Power in the Global Age is applied to key issues concerning the postnational legitimation of political power and, finally, in Cosmopolitan Europe, is tested against a special case, the unknown Europe in which we live.
